Building on prior research, which has failed to find consistent effects of life events on change in self - reported adult attachment security over time, the present study tested the hypothesis that it is the meaning people assign to events, rather than the objective features of events, that is associated with changing levels of security. Participants engaged in an 8 - week daily diary study, during which they completed daily self - report measures of attachment security, negative life events, perceptions of loss associated with events, and mood. Hierarchical linear modeling revealed that perceptions of greater interpersonal (but not achievement) loss associated with life events were significantly associated with greater insecurity on a day - to - day basis, even controlling for objective features of events and for mood. Trait levels of security did not moderate this association. Results are discussed with regard to social - cognitive models of attachment security and the utility of understanding the meaning of life events to understand how attachment models may be confirmed or disconfirmed.
