A developmental psychologist, Dr. Aris, conducted a meta-analysis of attachment studies across several different nations. She observed that while secure attachment was consistently the most prevalent type globally, there were notable differences in insecure classifications, particularly when comparing Western individualistic societies to Eastern collectivist ones. Furthermore, she noted that the variations within a single nation were often more pronounced than the variations between different nations.
