Azani Sadka

Dana Azani Sadka is a PhD candidate in the field of psychology whose research examines whether social groups can enhance the sense of attachment security, which is the confidence in having supportive others available when needed. Dana’s work explores the idea that groups can help individuals with an insecure attachment style. For group members with an anxious attachment style, the group can make them feel accepted, capable, and less worried. For members with an avoidant attachment style, groups can respect their independence while reassuring them that interdependence can be a positive experience. Her research aims to develop effective group-level interventions to foster security, well-being, and functioning.
