two themes of John Bowlby's attachment theory
1. Responsive Moms create safe haven and secure base for kid 2. Kid develops internal working model of relationships based on relationships with mom. Internal working model is used to model other relationships

Bowly: kids develop two important attitudes in interactions with Mom
1. Self-Esteem (Self Model): learn either that they're valued and loved or valueless and unloved 2. Interpersonal Trust (Other Model): learn either that others are trustworthy and dependable or untrustworthy and undependable

Granqvist et al (2012)
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
