Q

Granqvist et al (2012)

A

Study 1) anxiety predicted anxious God attachment; avoidance predicted avoidant God attachment. Anxious and Avoidant attachments related to “less loving God”

Study 2) mild and severe primes preferentially facilitated “God” words. Avoidance related to God-related word inhibition following both mild and severe distress primes - Avoidants deactivated God in response to unconscious distress

Study 3) subliminal “god” primes preferentially facilitated identification of positive, secure-base words but not negative words
