Abstract
Previous research has presented possible correlations between Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and insecure attachment styles. The present study investigated the protentional relationship between adult ADHD and anxious and avoidant attachment styles. Two hundred ninety-one participants with and without a diagnosis of ADHD were asked to complete a series of questionnaires regarding their ADHD symptoms and attachment representations. As hypothesized, ADHD symptoms were significantly associated with higher rates of anxious and avoidant attachment styles.
