The main conclusion of the fMRI study of adult attachment by Vritcka et al. (2008) was that amygdala activity is linked to feedback with an angry face, but more so in participants with an anxious attachment style. This suggests that individuals with an anxious attachment style may be more sensitive to negative social feedback and may have a heightened fear response to perceived threats in social relationships.
