Health Care Decisions in a Relationship: an Attachment Theory Approach
In this paper, we consider consumers’ judgments and decisions regarding health insurance for their relationship partners through the lens of attachment theory. Specifically, we examine how people’s attachment styles affect their perception of health-risk for their partners and their desire to buy health insurance to prevent against the risks.
