| Abstract | This study focused on attachment theory and its relationship to trust, conflict, relationship repair and leadership style. Participants were 226 undergraduate students that completed a case analysis project in teams as part of a class. Data was collected from the individual participants regarding level of team conflict, level of trust between the group members and attempts at relationship repair after a conflict. Data was also collected at the individual level regarding that individual's attachment style, their trust in the group leader and their perception of the group leader's leadership style. Individual responses were aggregated to the group level, and data was analyzed at the group level. Two of the five hypotheses proposed were supported, at least partially, by the data. Groups that were higher in avoidance were shown to experience the most amount of conflict relative to the other attachment styles. Also, there was a relationship shown between level of conflict, post-conflict relationship repair and affective trust. These results are discussed in relationship to research on attachment theory, and future directions for research are also discussed. |
