Table 1: The percentage (%) and the number (N) of subjects classified according to attachment style (secure, preoccupied, dismissive, fearful) and personality orientation (inward, outward). ECRQ and PMQ Cronbach’s alpha (α) coefficients, mean (M) and standard deviations (SD) are given for the total sample (N=278) and by gender (N= 131 men, N=147 women), allowing for gender-based comparisons.
