G: Sample technique: sample was only selected to those who read that particular American newspaper - poor way of selecting participants as it’s not generalizable to the rest of the world. :(
R: If we are not securely attached as infants, we become pessimistic about people's futures. Therefore, this is a weakness because by emphasizing the risk of experiencing problems if not securely attached, not reliable. :(
A: Yes for future relationships, for example - if you’re insecure-avoidant, it’s useful to know that you might need to work on jealousy issues; which can be done through self-help books, therapy, etc. :)
V: Retrospective data: data relies on participants’ memories - high chance that it’s inaccurate as they are required to report events of the past (they might not remember it that well) and using that as data for the experiment, questions the validity. :(
