Relationship attachment style refers to how individuals emotionally bond and connect with others in close relationships, especially romantic ones. Developed by psychologist John Bowlby, attachment theory suggests that early experiences with caregivers influence the formation of these styles. These styles shape how people approach intimacy, manage emotions, and respond to conflict or separation.
