Attachment classifications. The Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) divides in three main categories of organized attachment representation: secure attachment (with low scores of both attachment avoidance and attachment anxiety), insecure‐dismissing attachment (with high scores of attachment avoidance) and insecure‐preoccupied attachment (with high scores of attachment anxiety as well as preoccupations with attachment related anger). Attachment avoidance and attachment anxiety can be measured with the Experiences in Close Relationships Questionnaire (ECR). (Bartholomew&Horowitz, 1991; Ehrenthal et al., 2009)
