Adult attachment profiles and personality characteristics in adolescents
Keywords:
Personality; affectivity; adolescence.Abstract
In the present study, the need to associate personality characteristics with the different adult attachment styles is raised. Despite the existence of numerous questionnaires to measure both adult attachment and personality characteristics, it has been chosen to choose two recent questionnaires, empirically validated and simple to administer, since the sample is made up of an indeterminate group of adolescents who were studying compulsory secondary education. The results show a high degree of correspondence between the four personality profile groups created through the CBP (Torreblanca, 2017) and the attachment styles used in the AAC (Melero and Cantero, 2008). Concordance is observed around 70% in three of the four profiles made with the attachment styles secure, worried and fearful. The remaining percentages in each group have been distributed heterogeneously. In the group corresponding to avoidant attachment, the concordance between personality profile and attachment style has been lower, giving rise to new research possibilities and the establishment of new hypotheses about adult attachment.
