Different evolutionary perspectives offer competing views on short - term mating and attachment. Some theories argue that short - term mating results from insecure attachment, particularly the maladaptive attachment features of low self - esteem, interpersonal distrust, social avoidance, and emotional instability. Other theories posit that short - term mating is adaptive, having evolved as an ecologically contingent reproductive strategy. In this view, short-term mating has multiple origins - developmental, heritable, and situational -and may not be associated with the maladaptive traits of insecure attachment. Across several different cultures, short - term mating was moderately associated with insecure attachment, and insecure attachment was strongly related to maladaptive personality. However, short - term mating was largely independent of maladaptive personality. In some cases, especially among young men, short - term mating was associated with adaptive personality traits, especially higher self - esteem. It is argued that although insecure romantic attachment is somewhat associated with short - term mating, the causal links between early parent - child attachment and short - term mating are rather limited.
