The goal of this research was to explore the relation between adult romantic attachment styles (Bartholomew & Horowitz, 1991) and global self-esteem (Rosenberg, 1979). Participants completed self-report questionnaires assessing attachment styles, global self-esteem, and self-perceived competence across a variety of life domains (e.g., athletics, social skills). Results showed that secure and dismissing participants reported higher global self-esteem and greater average competence than did either preoccupied or fearful participants. Significant differences in competence across attachment styles, however, occurred only in socially relevant domains. A commonality analysis indicated that both attachment styles and domain-specific competence accounted for significant independent portions of the variance in global self-esteem, as did the overlap between these two variables. Results are discussed in terms of the conceptual relation between attachment styles and the self.

How do people with different attachment styles balance work and family? A personality perspective on work-family linkage Sümer, Hayriye Canan; Knight, PA (American Psychological Association (APA), 2001-08-01) This study explored whether different models of work-family relationship were possible for individuals with different attachment styles. A mail survey was conducted using employees (N = 481) at a midwestern university in the United States. Results suggested that (a) individuals with a preoccupied attachment pattern were more likely to experience negative spillover from the family/home to the work domain than those with a secure or dismissing style, (b) securely attached individuals experienced positive spil...
Modeling the associations among sibling relationship quality, co-rumination, rumination, and depression Cilalı, Bengü; Erdur Baker, Özgür; Department of Educational Sciences (2015) The present study was designed to test a model exploring the associations among sibling relationship quality, co-rumination, rumination, and depression. The sample of the current study was composed of 578 Turkish university students. The number of female participants was 336 (58 %) and the number of male participants was 242 (42 %). The age of the participants ranged between 18 and 26 (M= 20.86, Mdn= 21 Mo= 21, SD= 2.11). The Lifespan Sibling Relationship Scale, the Co-Rumination Questionnaire, the Short Ve...
Relationship between general and context-specific attachment orientations in a Turkish sample Imamoglu, Selen; İmamoğlu, Emine Olcay (Informa UK Limited, 2006-06-01) The authors explored the relationship between general and context-specific attachment orientations involving family, peer, and romantic contexts. Participants were 110 Turkish university students (50 men, 60 women). The authors used the Turkish form of K. Bartholomew and L. M. Horowitz's (199 1) Relationship Questionnaire (RQ) to measure participants' general and specific attachment orientations. Using 5-point Likert-type scales, participants specified the degree to which each of the 4 descriptions of RQ (i...
The impact of perceived parenting styles on attachment styles, self-evaluations and close relationships Sümer, Nebi; Gungor, D (1999-12-01) The present study examined the interplay between the perceived parenting styles of the university students and attachment styles, basic self-dimensions, behavior patterns in close relationships, and relationship satisfaction. The findings indicated that parenting styles (authoritarian, authoritative, permissive/indulgent, and permissive/neglecting), which were constructed by crossing perceived parental acceptance/involment and strict control dimensions of parenting were consistently related with the major o...
