| Core Tip |
Attachment style influences adult cognitive, emotional and interpersonal functioning. Despite its relationship with early experiences, it is a malleable tendency that is shaped throughout the development. Genetic research indicates that up to 45% of the variability in anxious and 39% in avoidant adult attachment style could be explained by genetic causes. A narrative review is conducted analyzing the existing literature regarding the implication of candidate genes, with vulnerability and differential susceptibility approaches. We highlight the lack of genome-wide studies and scarcity of epigenetic investigation, concluding that further research is needed to clarify the etiological role of genetics on adult attachment. |
