• Examine the relationship between Sternberg's triangular theory of love and types of adult attachment as described by Baumeister and Bushman (see the Context for this assessment).

o Are specific types of attachment related to specific types of love?

o Does research support a connection between type of adult attachment and type of adult love?

• Explain how a psychology professional can use the research on attachment styles and types of love to help people prepare for success in couple relationships.
