“…If the individual is good at functioning as anxious, he or she will be busy constantly checking whether the other person loves him or her and worrying whether the other person will abandon him or her, but if the other side of the individual is also well developed in the avoidance dimension, he or she will be busy constantly avoiding closeness with the other person and negatively asking for attachment and emotional proximity. Therefore, Noftle and Shaver (2006) defines this high anxiety, high avoidance type as a disorganized attachment style, where the attachment relationship is in a state of both closeness and avoidance when the anxiety and avoidance characteristics are too pronounced, and vice versa, i.e., low anxiety and low avoidance means that these two characteristics are less pronounced and the love relationship has a secure attachment style ( Karatas and Demir, 2019 ).…”

Social attachment can explain well the bond between users and social media, but existing research lacks measures of social attachment scales. To this end, this study takes attachment theory as the basis for scale development. On the basis of the development of multidimensional scales for adult, brand, and local attachment, it combines existing relevant studies on social attachment, selects three representative social media such as TikTok, WeChat, and MicroBlog as theoretical samples, explores the concept and structure of social attachment, and develops a social attachment scale through qualitative interviews and open-ended questionnaires. This study applied SPSS 24.0 and Mplus 7.0 to test the social attachment scale. The findings reveal that social attachment consists of three constructs: social connection, social dependence and social identity, and the scale possesses high reliability and validity. This study has developed and validated a social attachment scale in the context of social software use, realizing a quantitative study of social attachment and providing a basis for future empirical research related to social attachment.

“…Next, even if a unified structure of PDs and attachment is invariant across gender and clinical groups (between persons) it may not be invariant within persons-and concluding that interpersonal dysfunction is idiographically constant when it is not will limit understanding of relationship-specific distress. Attachment is tied to dynamic relationship processes and not to static features of people or situations (Main et al, 1985) and varies as a function of the relationship type (Donbaek & Elklit, 2014;Fraley et al, 2011;Furman & Simon, 2004;Karataş & Demir, 2018;Main et al, 1985;Meyer & Pilkonis, 2005;Moreira et al, 2015). Therefore, it will be important to test whether the joint structure of PDs and attachment to all attachment figures (e.g., mother, father, romantic partner) is constant within persons.…”

Personality pathology and adult attachment are "made of the same stuff" (Meyer & Pilkonis, 2005). They share crucial phenomenological features, etiologies, and genetic bases; however, these shared features have not been appropriately represented in empirical literature as reflective of a common dysfunction. Continuing to conceptualize attachment and personality pathology as separable constructs shackles clinical efforts, particularly with regard to identifying persons and relationships that may be most prone to interpersonal problems. In the current review, we argue that adult attachment and personality pathology may indeed be iterations of the same underlying dysfunction, and that empirical work conducted to date has been insufficient in this characterization. We also argue that to accurately represent the nature of attachment and personality pathology, the empirical integration of interpersonal dysfunction must be conducted across nosologies, demographic groups, and time. We support our arguments using empirical, theoretical, and clinical material that demonstrates the unity of attachment and personality disorders.
