An article from The Washington Post says that the answer to why an insecure childhood can have a great impact not just in your career but in your life in general lies "Frontiers in Human Neuroscience".
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience is published article confirming that adults with insecure attachments to their parents or caregivers as children tend to perform poorly in tasks when they are under stress or have negative emotions.
Attachment is the connection between a parent and child.If you were abandoned and uncared for as a child, you tend to be defensive and will find it hard to trust other people as an adult.Children who have bad experiences with their caregivers are prone to insecure attachments when they grow up.
Melanie Kungl, a professor of psychology at Germany's University Erlangen-Nuremberg,said that insecurely attached children turn into adults who deny negative emotions and are not willing to confront them. In the workplace, this can lead to a reduced ability to perform tasks and solve problems rationally.
Kungl and her team found out that insecure attachment makes it hard for people to avoid negative emotions, distracting them from mental attention and performance in the workplace. Furthermore, people with insecure attachment have more negative emotions than those with healthy attachment.
