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 relationships it was suggested that adult romantic love can meaningfully 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.
