Abstract
This study examined the effect of a secure base activation on loneliness and looked at the moderating effect of anxious and avoidant attachment dimensions on this relationship. Participants (N=401) were randomly assigned to either a secure base condition (where they were asked to think of someone who was there for them in challenging times) or a secure base threat condition (where they were asked to think of someone who was not there for them in challenging times). The results showed a significant effect of the manipulation on loneliness but did not show a significant moderation effect of either anxious or avoidant attachment dimensions. Through exploratory analysis, a significant moderation effect of anxious attachment, but not avoidant attachment on wellbeing was found.
