Abstract
Attachment anxiety and breakup-related grief have been positively associated in previous studies. To further explore the nature of breakup-related grief, we investigated the relationship between attachment anxiety and breakup-related grief, with breakup initiator as a potential moderator. We hypothesized that attachment anxiety and breakup-related grief would have a positive relationship, and that breakup-initiator would moderate this relationship. Research among 62 students who experienced a breakup in the past 12 months supports the hypothesis that attachment anxiety would have a positive relationship with breakup-related grief. However, the initiator status did not significantly moderate this relationship. These findings suggest that while attachment anxiety contributes to breakup-related grief, the role of the breakup initiator may be less significant than previously thought.
