Abstract
If securely attached individuals typically exhibit more desirable attributes, can insecure
individuals be perceived positively when working in teams despite their interpersonal
disadvantages? In an exploratory study, using both a vignette based experimental
research design (n = 636) and a round-robin study of professionals working on a team
task for nine consecutive weeks (k = 648), we examined the evolving impressions
of insecurely attached individuals over time. We find that while anxiously attached
individuals are perceived more positively in initial interactions, this initial positive effect
for anxious attachment disappeared over time as individuals within teams gained
more relational knowledge about their team members. We also found a stable and
negative effect of avoidant attachment. We discuss possible reasons for the temporal
underpinnings of this effect and compare our findings to previous literature.
