Answer to Question 1

Answer: The two dimensions associated with the dimensional approach are anxiety and avoidance. In the anxiety attachment dimension, individuals are nervous about relationships and have a negative view of themselves. In the avoidance attachment dimension, individuals have a desire not to be connected emotionally to relationship partners and have a negative view of others.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Someone with avoidant attachment avoids closeness and may be uncomfortable with emotional intimacy. This attachment style develops when a caregiver is consistently unavailable or even abusive; children learn to distrust the caregiver and relationships more generally. The child often learns to get by on his own without seeking support from the caregiver.
