Abstract
ABSTRACT Previous research has made a call to study how attachment processes affect advice communication in romantic relationships. Examining participants’ perceptions of romantic partner’s advice, using Advice Response Theory and attachment theory, this study sought to determine how attachment styles moderate the associations between perceived advice message factors and implementation. Participants (N = 272) completed an online questionnaire. More avoidant and more anxious participants were less likely to implement advice. Attachment-avoidance moderated the effects of perceived negative facework and confirmation on increased advice implementation. Attachment-anxiety moderated the effects of perceived confirmation on increased advice implementation. Findings provide theoretical support and extension for attachment theory, romantic relationships, and advice.
