The impact of adult attachment on partner and self-attributions and relationship quality. (2004, background): “…model that preoccupied individuals have a positive model of others and dismissing individuals have a positive model of self seem to be questionable both theoretically (Fraley & Shaver, 2000; Pietromonaco & Barrett, 2000) and empirically (e.g., Carver, 1997; Feeney, Noller, & Hanrahan, 1994).”
Working Models of Attachment, Support Giving, and Support Seeking in a Stressful Situation (2002, result): “This study is similar, but not identical, to an earlier study reported by Simpson et al. (1992). Unlike the 1992 study, men in the present study were assigned to the role of potential support seekers and women were assigned to the role of potential support providers.”
Adult Attachment, Social Self-Efficacy, Self-Disclosure, Loneliness, and Subsequent Depression for Freshman College Students: A Longitudinal Study (2005, background): “Individuals with high levels of attachment anxiety tend to have a negative working model of the self (e.g., for a review, see Pietromonaco & Feldman Barrett, 2000) and are likely to perceive less self-efficacy, whereas individuals with high levels of attachment avoidance tend to be compulsively…”
The Place of Attachment in Human Mating (2000, background): “A more troublesome possibility is that the average person lacks awareness of the factors that truly influence his or her mating decisions (for a similar point, see Pietromonaco & Feldman Barrett, 2000).”

Therapeutic Qualities of Clay-work in Art Therapy and Psychotherapy: A Review (2006, background): “The central assumption of attachment theory is that humans form close emotional bonds with significant others (Bowlby, 1969, 1973, 1979, & 1980), which facilitate the development of mental representations of self and other, or “internal working models” (Pietromonaco & Barrett, 2000).”
The Relationships among Attachment Style, Personality Traits, Interpersonal Competency, and Facebook Use (2012, background): “…the empirical support for these four attachment styles is stronger for the theoretically predicted views of self than views of others, overall this theoretical framework of adult attachment styles has sound support and is useful in understanding adult relationships (Pietromonaco & Barrett, 2000).”
Adult Attachment, Affect Regulation, Negative Mood, and Interpersonal Problems: The Mediating Roles of Emotional Reactivity and Emotional Cutoff. (2005, background): “The second type of maladaptive affect regulation is a deactivating strategy in which individuals suppress their negative feelings and maximize their distance from others in order to avoid frustration caused by others’ unavailability (e.g., Cassidy, 1994, 2000; Cassidy & Kobak, 1988; Lopez & Brennan,”
Adult Attachment, Depressive Symptoms, and Validation From Self Versus Others (2005, background): “According to attachment theory, children develop internal working models of self and others on the basis of the responsiveness of their caregivers (Bartholomew, 1990; Bartholomew & Horowitz, 1991; Bowlby, 1973, 1979; Pietromonaco & Feldman Barrett, 2000 ).”
The Role of Self-compassion in Romantic Relationships (2013, background): “…overreactions, fearful attachment involves negative self-views and reduced feelings of intimacy with relationship partners, while dismissive attachment involves defensive self-views that are positive towards the self even though they are negative towards partners (Pietromonaco & Barrett, 2000).”
