The distribution of attachment styles in the general population depends somewhat on the assessment used, whether a dimensional or categorical approach was considered, and the developmental stage. Overall, about 60% of people tend to be classified as securely attached, with the remaining 40% divided among the insecure and disorganized classifications. Estimates are also affected by age, gender, socioeconomic status, and race/ethnicity, as described in the following sections. It should be noted, however, that the attachment classification estimates provided are based on community samples—that is, based upon studies that did not seek out participants with psychopathology where, as a general rule, attachment security is less common.
