Attachment styles and sleep measures in a community-based sample of older adults.

Measures of attachment style are often used to appraise social and emotional health. In developmental literature, the concept of attachment is used to explain relationships between children and their adult caregivers. While both attachment styles and sleep patterns are conceived as developmentally organized systems, very few studies have explored the link between the two. The present study examined whether attachment styles and sleep measures are associated among older adults.Journal ArticleResearch Support, N.I.H. ExtramuralResearch Support, Non-U.S. Gov't
