Abstract

This study aims to investigate naturally generated attachment groups of university students (N = 128) using a Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) methodology. As a result of the LPA employing the four attachment dimensions that Bartholomew (1990) conceptualized, three groups were naturally generated:(a) insecure-avoidant group, (b) secure-dependent group, and (c) ambivalent group. In order to examine the significant differences among the three groups on indices of mental health and locus of evaluation, a MANOVA was conducted. As a result, the ambivalent and insecure-avoidant groups were maladaptive whereas the secure-dependent group was healthy and adaptive. Particularly, the ambivalent group was the most maladaptive displaying interpersonal sensitivity and external locus of evaluation.
