Towards More Rigorous Personality Trait–Outcome Research (2016, background): “…(Fernández del Río et al., 2015), consumer behaviour (Otero-López & Villardefrancos Pol, 2013), sexually transmitted disease (Mõttus, Realo, Allik, Esko, & Metspalu, 2012c), relationship status and quality (Noftle & Shaver, 2006) and life satisfaction (Marrero Quevedo & Carballeira Abella, 2011).”
Attachment theory as a framework for explaining engagement with Facebook (2015, background): “The Big Five personality traits share variance with attachment style (e.g., Noftle & Shaver, 2006).”
Development and validation of a state adult attachment measure (SAAM) (2009, background): “Nevertheless, other measures, such as Simpson’s (1990), and Hazan and Shaver’s (1987) original measure have suggested a different structure in which security is an independent dimension, related negatively, but moderately, to anxiety and avoidance (which are in turn mostly or totally independent of ”
Attachment styles and interpersonal approach and avoidance goals in everyday couple interactions (2008, background): “…measures that load highly on the dimensions of agency and communion (e.g., Bartholomew & Horowitz, 1991; Chen & Mallinckrodt, 2002; Collins & Read, 1990; Diehl, Elnick, Bourbeau, & Labouvie-Vief, 1998; Gallo, Smith, & Ruiz, 2003; Noftle & Shaver, 2006; Shaver & Brennan, 1992; Shaver et al., 1996).”
Adult attachment styles in the workplace (2011, background): “…finding links between attachment and the Big Five, it has been noted that attachment styles typically show significant predictive power above and beyond the Big Five traits (e.g. Noftle & Shaver, 2006; Roisman et al., 2007), particularly when relationship outcomes are the criteria of interest.”
INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS AND GROUP PROCESSES Patterns of Stability in Adult Attachment: An Empirical Test of Two Models of Continuity and Change (2011, unknown): “Questions about stability in adulthood are complicated by the fact that individual differences in adult attachment tend to be associated with the Big Five personality traits (see Noftle & Shaver, 2006, for a review).”
Insecure attachment and personality disorder: a twin study of adults (2007, background): “…has shown that self-reported attachment between adults predicts relationship variables, affect regulation and psychopathology as expected based on attachment theory (Carnelley, Pietromonaco, & Jaffe, 1994; Mikulincer et al., 2003; Nakash-Eisikovits, Dutra, & Westen, 2002; Noftle & Shaver, 2006).”
An attachment perspective on human–pet relationships: Conceptualization and assessment of pet attachment orientations (2011, background): “In particular, attachment anxiety correlates with neuroticism, and avoidant attachment is inversely correlated with extraversion and agreeableness (e.g., Noftle & Shaver, 2006).”
“I can’t get no satisfaction”: Insecure attachment, inhibited sexual communication, and sexual dissatisfaction (2006, background): “…in direction to the correlations with one or both attachment variables, regression analyses (available from the first author) indicated, as in previous studies (summarized by Noftle & Shaver, 2006), that neuroticism did not account for the associations between attachment and other variables.”
A Three–Part Framework for Self–Regulated Personality Development across Adulthood (2014, background): “…been reported to be positively related to relationship satisfaction (e.g. Caughlin, Huston, & Houts, 2000; Robins, Caspi, & Moffitt, 2000; but see Noftle & Shaver, 2006), the promotion of more positive parenting styles (for a review, see Prinzie, Stams, Dekovic, Reijntnes, & Belsky, 2009),…”
Personality traits, loneliness, and attitudes toward aloneness in adolescence (2013, background): “Highly agreeable adolescents are more likely to be securely attached (e.g., Noftle & Shaver, 2006), which may suggest that they feel less anxious when being alone.”
