In the section I refer to, the dismissive-avoidant attachment style is never referred to by name. I understand this to be because the two patterns are essentially the same attachment style, with anxious-avoidant being the childhood version and dismissive-avoidant being the adult version. I think this should be clarified in the article, not least because many sources (which would not be of suitable quality for Misplaced Pages's use, but to which our readers may have been exposed) either simply the styles and use one of the sets (child or adult) to refer to both children's and adults' attachment styles, or, alternatively, they conflate anxious-avoidant with fearful-avoidant, which, while linguistically understandable, does lead me to believe that these individuals should not be writing articles about attachment styles. While I believe I understand why this section of our article only discusses the anxious-avoidant style, I think it should be made clearer within that section, such that this issue of terminology is made immediately evident to and understandable by laypersons. I am leaving this as a talk page section as I am not quite confident enough to make the edit myself and I do not have sources to hand, so I thank in advance whoever does actually make this edit (assuming that I have not made any serious mistakes in my assumptions). ] (]) 02:36, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

I feel this whole section needs a bit of a re-write.

For the dismissive-avoidant attachment, The large paragraph citing only one source covers a great many topics very broadly that could be more specific and widely cited. My suggestion would be to whittle down what the current primary source covers as more precise information/sources are used to extrapolate usefully on some of the research and ideas represented. I plan on slowly working to improve this section specifically.

Both and anxious-preoccupied and fearful-avoidant sections under adult attachment also need to be reworked. Citations are too few, missing, and not high quality. All of the information is vague, and in general I feel a disservice is done for users seeking more information using this source. I will be working on this but it will be slow and bit-by-bit, I hope others join in.] (]) 14:34, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

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.

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)
