Attachment, sexual experience, and sexual pressure in romantic relationships: A dyadic approach (2007, background): “…in the space is thought to be determined by important experiences with previous attachment figures (i.e., close relationship partners, beginning with early caregivers; see Mikulincer & Shaver, 2007), but it might also be influenced by temperament or genetic factors (e.g., Crawford et al., 2007).”
An attachment and behavioral systems perspective on social support (2009, background): “…although interactions with attachment figures are viewed as the major causes of individual differences in support seeking, support provision, and perceived support, there is recent evidence that genetic factors may also play a role (e.g., Crawford et al., 2007; Gillath, Shaver, Baek, & Chun, 2008).”
An attachment perspective on psychopathology (2012, background): “Crawford et al (19) also found that avoidant attachment is associated with what Livesley (20) called the “inhibitedness” component of personality problems, including restrict- ed expression of emotions, problems with intimacy, and social avoidance.”
