Description
Summary:Satisfaction with relationship is related to many variables. One of these variables is the attachment style of people. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relation between relationship satisfaction and the different attachment styles. The sample consisted of 162 persons with age ranged between 18 and 72 years with an average of 37 years (D. T= 13,214). The instruments used were the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) and the Adult Attachment Scale (AAS). Each individual completed self-reported questionnaires anonymously. Results indicate that there is a significant relation between these two variables (p< .001), and we could observed that secure attachment was related to the highest levels of satisfaction.
