Representations of Attachment and THE TWILIGHT SAGA 1 Do Representations of Attachment to Romantic Partners in Emerging Adulthood Influence Attitudes about and Perceptions of The Twilight Saga?

Abstract Given the predominant themes of love and obsession in The Twilight Saga, an online survey was completed by 243 females from three different locations assessing both expertise/exposure to the books and/or movies and their reactions to the characters. Representation of real-life attachment to romantic partners was also assessed via The Experiences in Close Relationship Inventory-Revised (Fraley, Waller, & Brennan, 2000). Variables indicating higher levels of expertise were consistently related to higher levels of attachment Anxiety, but not attachment Avoidance, although participants with lower levels of both Anxiety and Avoidance reported being influenced by the characters in similar ways
