Written Paragraph
to be turned during class: In our chapter on the development of
emotion we discussed infant attachment and the parenting behaviors that
tend to be correlated with each of the three attachment categories
(secure, anxious, avoidant). In the chapter on love and

be viewed as a form of adult attachment. Write a paragraph
outlining the characteristics (mention at least 2 or 3 key
characteristics of each attachment style both infancy and adulthood).
Explicitly provide a meaningful discussion of why infant attachment
style might be predictive of adult attachment style.
Feelings are not
supposed to be rational. Dangerous is the [person] who has rationalized
his emotions.
