Movies help people with attachment problems

People who have difficulties with relationships, not escape through movies and TV shows, only temporarily from the reality, but they also feel stronger in the plot of the movies involved. Often you feel a strong connection to the fictional characters and think about how you would conduct yourself in their Situation.

Those with a fearful bond, a felt stronger in the stories, so Silver. Particularly interesting are the people, whose binding type is both avoiding as well as anxious: &quot be;These are the classic self-saboteurs. You want the supportive intimacy, but tend to screw up, because you haben&quot at the same time behavior of avoidance;, Silver says. Such persons were particularly strong with acts from the world of Film and television. For the study 1.039 adult Americans were interviewed.
