Effects of attachment anxiety tendency on respect to outgroup

Abstract

　In this study, I focused on respect to outgroup as psychological factor that would resolve and engender reconcile intergrouop conflict. Especially personal trait of attachment anxiety was focused for that process. One hundred thirty-six undergraduate students answered questions concerning attachment anxiety, general sense of secureness, confidence on coping skill, and respect to Chinese. Results were indicated that attachment anxiety weakened general sense of secureness, and then it weakened respect to Chinese. The relationship between personal trait of attachment anxiety and intergroup conflict resolution was discussed.
