An Evaluation of the Relationship Between Attachment Style and Feelings of Nostalgia

by Amber Benson

The purpose of this research is to better understand how priming a secure or insecure attachment style influences feelings of state nostalgia, subjective feelings, and nostalgia cognitive appraisals. Our expected results are that priming a secure attachment style will lead to an increase in state nostalgia (H1) and priming an insecure attachment would cause a decrease in state nostalgia (H2).
