The Push and Pull of Attachment Styles on Romantic Consumption

Two studies examine the impact of attachment styles on romantic consumption (e.g., romantic movies, weddings) and find that attachment anxiety stimulates romantic consumption and attachment avoidance functions as a barrier. These effects are driven by emotional intimacy motives.
