One cannot define a causal relationship between attachment style and well-being because the well-being of a child is influenced by numerous factors and although attachment style is one of these factors, it is certainly not the primary one. These other forces/influences can be from the environment, such as social and economic status, location, social interactions. Certain events such as death, divorce and injury can also shape well-being of a child. In general, in addition to attachment style, the environment and experiences a child has make up a large part of a child's well-being.
