== 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%;">—&nbsp;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%;">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 16:34, 19 October 2021 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Section 4 "Attachment styles in adults" citation & reference problems

Hi all,

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;

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

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

To address these issues, I propose:

1. That uncited passages be immediately removed;

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

3. citations be standardized according to the (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Citing_sources).

Doing so will improve both the content of the section and its legibility; in turn, these revisions will help bring the article up to the (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Citing_sources). 173.230.164.4 (talk) 14:44, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

Yes! Thank you. Also the academic references that are cited are 30+ years old and need to be updated. Wackthedrums (talk) 03:13, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
I agree, this section needs to be reworked with better citations and less vague language. I'm going to be slowly working specifically on the dismissive-avoidant section (which in my opinion is in the most dire need of complete revision), open to any and all help/input. RosieTime (talk) 14:38, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
Agreed. This sections seems to be influenced by the recent pop-psychology interest in attachment styles. While popular interest in the topic is welcomed, this page inherits some simplifications from that perspective. Most importantly, it takes a deficit-model approach. This both fails to reflect the actual theory and can be harmful to lay-people hoping to learn about themselves.
Is there a way to add a banner to this section noting the lack of citations to readers? TooManyFunFacts (talk) 00:09, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Crime Section Additions

Added paragraph titled "Uses Within Probation Practice" under Crime. PeterBuon (talk) 00:27, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Missing verb?

This sentence - "When it comes to the opinions of others about themselves, they are very indifferent and are relatively hesitant to positive feedback from their peers." - reads like it should have a verb between "to" and "positive", like "to accept positive feedback". Maybe that's clarified in the reference, which I don't have access to. WilbaAtWikipedia (talk) 02:33, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
