Adult Attachment Interview

The Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) is a structured conversation used by psychologists to understand how adults relate to others based on their childhood experiences. During the interview, individuals reflect on their early relationships with caregivers, revealing patterns in their emotional bonds and attachment style. This helps identify how their past influences current relationships and emotional responses. The AAI provides insights into attachment security or insecurity, guiding therapeutic approaches and understanding interpersonal behavior. It is a specialized tool used mainly in clinical and research settings to explore the roots of adult relationship dynamics.
