Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Consider the stem: which type of individuals are hesitant about getting involved in romantic relationships and, once in a relationship, tend to distance themselves from their partner?
Option A: Anxious. An anxious attachment style typically involves clinginess, a strong fear of abandonment, and seeking closeness, not distancing; this option describes a contrasting pattern.
Option B: Securely attached. Secure attachment is characterized by comfort with intimacy and healthy, stable relationships, not hesitation or distance, so this choice does not fit the description.
Option C: Disorganized. A disorganized attachment style combines fear and avoidance in often unpredictable ways, but the question’s specific wording about distance within relationships aligns more cleanly with a more defined avoidant pattern rather than a general disorganization; still, it does not best capture the described tendency as precisely.
Option D: Avoidant. An avoidant attachment style is marked by hesitancy to form close relationships and a tendency to maintain emotional or physical distance from a partner once in a relationship, matching the description given in the stem.
In light of these characterizations, the option that most accurately corresponds to the described behavior is the avoidant pattern, which explicitly accounts for both initial hesitancy to engage and subsequent distance within relationships.
