Cover Story: Proximity-seeking in distress situations is one of attachment theory’s primary strategies; insecure individuals often also develop secondary strategies. The attachment deactivation strategy constitutes a key issue in the current debate related to their role in support-seeking. This strategy and the processes of proximity-seeking under distress conditions by analyzing the attentional processes, using eye-tracking techniques, were investigated.
