			Hi all,
	{{small\|Above undated message substituted from ] by ] (]) 14:57, 16 January 2022 (UTC)}}
	== Long quotation in lead ==

			I'm concerned about some of the citations (or lack thereof) in section 4, (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/Attachment_theory#Attachment_styles_in_adults). There are several issues with the citations in this section:

			1. There are uncited passages throughout the section that editorialize about the relationship between adult attachment styles and romantic relationships;
	<blockquote>
	It should be recognized '''"even sensitive caregivers get it right only about fifty per cent of the time. Their communications are either out of synch, or mismatched. There are times when parents feel tired or distracted. The telephone rings or there is breakfast to prepare. In other words, attuned interactions rupture quite frequently. But the hallmark of a sensitive caregiver is that the ruptures are managed and repaired."'''
	</blockquote>

			2. many citations for descriptions of cognitive & social phenomena do not reference peer-reviewed academic material, but popular and 'grey' literature (e.g. nos. 93 & 95, possibly 94); and
	For a quote of this length (is it too long to begin with?), the attribution needs to be direct and up front, and not just buried in a cite at the end. — ] 00:00, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

			3. some citations are written in parenthetical format, not in standard hyperlinked footnotes.
	== Student Evaluation ==

			To address these issues, I propose:
	Hello! I am a student at the University of Alabama working on article evaluations on topics in either relational communication or interpersonal communication. I just wanted to say that I found the information presented here to be both helpful and interesting. Part of our evaluation is to suggest a possible addition(s) for the articles we are reading. For this one, I certainly feel like it covers most of the principles and ideas surrounding attachment theory. My question as a reader might be about what research (if any) has been done recently to either back up the different theories or ideas presented, or contradict those ideas? There may not be a lot of research currently being conducted, but I think a section explaining what's happening now when it comes to expanding theories around attachment theory or what needs to be done in the future would be really interesting.
	Thanks!--] (]) 00:14, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

			1. That uncited passages be immediately removed;
	== FAR needed ==
	This article passed ] ten years ago, and is no longer in compliance with ]. The lead, in particular, does not comply with ] (see the ). The article is over-quoted, and the TOC is no longer focused. There is a good deal of uncited text. A consistent citation style is not used. If the article cannot be brought to ], it should be submitted to ]. ] (]) 01:42, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

			2. references to non-peer-reviewed accounts of cognitive & social psychological phenomena be removed, their respective sections revised, and these descriptions replaced with rigorous, scholarly accounts of these complex human behaviors; and
	== More application of theory on adult needed ==
	Hi, I am a student from Georgetown University in CCT program, and we are peer reviewing some articles. This is the detailed explanation for attachment theory, with clear definition, case studies and related research. The article mainly focused on the children and how theory can apply to them, including the history, the transaction from children to teenagers and the practical applications. However, I found out the article has less information of how the theory apply to adults. The article has few paragraph for Attachment styles in adults, and I think you could look for more styles or evidence in this part, such as how theory can be used in marketing and business area. Maybe you could refer to the following section, crime. That is also the application of theory in adults and it is like the attachment to the main theory, with history, and other detailed introductions. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 02:21, 19 October 2021 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

	== Peer review ==

	Hi Yibo, I hope you are doing well on building this Wiki page. It is a well-written article as it is rated as a B class article. Based on my view, there are some sections that you could improve on. First, when I viewed the content, I got confused by the title of “crime”. I understood “crime” meant that the theory has been applied in the discipline of criminology. I think it would be better if the term could be clarified in the content. Also, I think it would be interesting to add sources about the theory’s development in the era that AI has been a flourishing field if there is any study that has been conducted. I hope these ideas would help. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 16:34, 19 October 2021 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
