        2. Adult Relationships
          1. Parenting Style
            1. Intergenerational continuity between adults attachments and their children. People tend to base their parenting style on the internal working model so attachments tend to be passed on through generations.
              1. Harlow's monkeys showed a link between poor attachment and later difficulties with parenting.
              2. Romantic Relationships
                1. The IWM influences a persons expectation of later relationships, thus affecting their attitudes towards them.
                  1. Hazan and Shaver (1987) The Love Quiz - analysed 620 replies to a love quiz in a newspaper, assessing current relationships and attachment types.
                    1. Secure - tended to have long lasting relationships. Insecure - more difficult, tended to divorce and believed love was rare. Avoidant - jealousy and fear of intimacy.
                2. Evaluation
                  1. Strengths:
                    1. Supporting evidence. Early attachment constantly predicts later attachment, wellbeing and attachment to own children.
                    2. Weaknesses:
                      1. Confounding variables. E.g parenting style might affect attachment quality and later development.
                        1. Early attachments were assessed retrospectively. Asking questions relies on honesty and accurate perception.
