Many researchers believe that adult styles of romantic love correspond with childhood patterns of

A) accommodation.
B) attachment.
C) conservation.
D) object permanence.

Many researchers, including Bowlby and Ainsworth, have studied the attachment patterns between infants and their caregivers. These patterns form the foundation for later adult relationships, including romantic love. Individuals who had secure attachments in childhood tend to have adult relationships characterized by trust, intimacy, and healthy dependence, while those with insecure attachments may struggle with issues of trust, anxiety, and avoidance in their romantic relationships. Therefore, adult styles of romantic love correspond with childhood patterns of attachment.
