Psych 130 Discussion
Writing Assignment #5
Take the Attachment Styles Test here: https://dianepooleheller.com/attachment-test/.
Be sure to include a screenshot of the breakdown of your attachment styles (both
numbers and the pie chart).
Then, answer the two prompts below:
1. Do you agree or disagree with the results for your primary attachment style? Provide
reasons why.
2. Choose one of the following additional prompts:
• Think of specific examples in your childhood that may have shaped your attachment
style? Describe.
• Practice being mindful about your attachment style for a few days. Write about
specific moments you noticed your style directing your thoughts, actions, behavior
or emotions. What happened? Was there a triggering moment or event? How did
you handle the situation?
• If you are currently in a romantic relationship, ask your partner if they would be
willing to take the attachment assessment. Discuss your results with your partner
and write about the experience of having a conversation with them. What did you
learn about them? Did you learn anything new about your relational dynamic? How
did it feel?
• If you are currently in a romantic relationship, evaluate how your attachment style
guides the way you show up in your relationship – think about your behavior,
emotions, and internal thoughts.

you’re sick, in trouble, want to celebrate, call with news, etc.
This questionnaire is designed to be an interactive learning tool. Please highlight, circle, or comment on any statements that are particularly relevant to you or that
you’d like to revisit for exploration at a later time.
