Abstract
We tested a proposition central to the life history model of attachment that the insecure attachment might be related to resource control strategies in adulthood. We conducted a structural equation modeling analysis based on a sample of 177 undergraduates. Participants were asked to complete self-reported questionnaires to measure their avoidant and anxious attachment, coercive and prosocial resource control, and unrestricted sociosexuality. Results indicated that avoidant attachment was positively related to coercive resource control, and anxious attachment was positively related to prosocial resource control. In addition, coercive resource control was positively related to unrestricted sociosexuality, whereas prosocial resource control was not significantly related to unrestricted sociosexuality. Implications for insecure attachment and resource control are discussed.
