Attachment Styles and Relationship Satisfaction among Young Adults (20–25 Years)

Abstract

Romantic relationships play a significant role in the emotional development of young adults. Attachment theory explains how early emotional bonds influence interpersonal relationships later in life. The present study examines the relationship between attachment styles and relationship satisfaction among young adults aged 20–25 years. A quantitative correlational research design was used to investigate the association between these variables. Data were collected using standardized psychological scales measuring attachment patterns and relationship satisfaction. The findings suggest that secure attachment styles are positively associated with higher relationship satisfaction, while anxious and avoidant attachment styles are associated with lower satisfaction levels. The results highlight the importance of emotional security and trust in maintaining healthy romantic relationships.
