Support-seeking is considered a motivational process. Accordingly, differing motivations may lead to differing support-seeking patterns. The present research uses a recall paradigm on a MechanicalTurk population to understand whether individuals' attachment style influences the frequency with which they seek both formal and informal supporters.
