Where I m From
I am from my baby rocking chair, from coors light and white wine.
I am from the long driveway and the leafy grove in the front yard.
I am from the fragrant orange trees, the majestic pomegranate trees, and the lush avocado trees.
I am from weekend trips to Punta Colonet enjoying the sun with my parents and a long lineage of blonde hair and blue eyes which skipped me, from Ron Rosol and M’linda Williams.
I am from the carefree lifestyle and vigilant behavior. From “Love you more” and “I’m going to give you until the count of three.”
I am from the scattered bibles, barbeques and pasta salad.
I am from the pictures hung on the refrigerator with assorted magnets, the pictures placed around the house, and the photo albums locked away in cabinets to be forgotten.
~Mallory Rosol

    Outline and Evaluate the Strange Situations

    Based on these observations, Ainsworth concluded that there were three major styles of attachment: secure attachment, ambivalent-insecure attachment, and avoidant-insecure attachment. Researchers Main and Solomon (1986) added a fourth attachment style known as disorganized-insecure attachment. Numerous studies have supported Ainsworth's conclusions and additional research has revealed that these early attachment styles can help predict behaviours later in life.…

    Theories Of Attachment Styles

    Humans are social beings and need to be with others and form relationships but our relationship behaviors do not "come naturally" and they need to be learned similar to other social skills (Schneider, Gruman & Coutts, 2005, p.77). Many psychologists argue that the kind of relationships infants have with their primary caregivers is the blueprint for the later life relationships (Schneider, Gruman & Coutts, 2005). Behaviors in adult relationships' are influenced by the kinds of relationships and attachments they have experienced in their early years with their primary caregivers. This is the basic perspective of the theory of attachment styles that claims that the kind of bonds we form early in life influence…

    Alecia Physical Development

    It has often been asked if the attachment styles with partners reflect the attachment styles with parents. Of the three attachment styles Alecia is reported to have an avoidant attachment style. She states that when beginning romantic relationships, she is usually hesitant. Also, that she tends to distance herself from the relationship once she is in one. Although Alecia appears to have an avoidant attachment style, this does not sentence her to a life without positive relationships. While attachment styles are one factor to functioning relationships, many other factors add to success in relationships.

    John Bowlby's Theory Of Attachment?

    John Bowlby's Theory Of Attachment?

    For example, anxious attachment styles can derive from a caregiver who abandons a child alone at home for unknown periods of time, leaving the dependent feeling alone and anxious to have the caregiver return. This would lower the dependents trust for this individual and aids them in losing their expectations of being protected by other people suggests Atilgan Erozkan, author of The Link Between Types of Attachment and Childhood Trauma. These individuals are left feeling anxious because they would not know what to expect and the inconsistency lead them to feel unsure and clingy. Thus, during romantic relationships when we feel uncertain about your partner's emotions we tend to blow up their phone or become obsessively interested and clingy. People who use the anxious attachment style tend to look at themselves as the lesser option or not good enough for their partner.…

    Secure Attachment Style Analysis

    I find myself as a secure attachment style. When I feel vulnerable to injury, I will seek comfort and support from my parents, family members, and loved ones. Oppositely, when my loved ones encounter problems, I am willing to provide them comfort and support. I think that my adult attachment style is related to my parents and my family greatly. I am twins and have a brother that born one minute before me. My father worked a lot when we were little. My parents were afraid that they could not take care of two babies at the same time, so they decided that one of us will be living with our grandmother and uncle’s family from my mother’s side; we would switch every one week. I think that my parents made this decision so they could take care one…
