Abstract
How have college students’ attachment styles changed over time in the US? We update previous research tracking these changes between 1988 and 2011. In 118 samples of American college students (N=31,622) with data collected between 1988 and 2019, we find decreases in Secure attachment and increases in Fearful attachment.
