Abstract
Although past research suggests that state attachment security fluctuates in relation to daily interpersonal events, information on this relationship is limited. This study aimed to replicate and extend previous findings. The study followed 30 participants for 4 consecutive weeks, requiring them to report recent interpersonal events they experienced and their current attitudes toward attachment relationships twice each week. The results indicate that state attachment security fluctuated with daily interpersonal experience. Specifically, state attachment anxiety increased the greater the reported number of negative interpersonal events or perceived interpersonal losses, and decreased as participants perceived greater interpersonal gain from positive interpersonal events.
