Abstract

The attachment pattern of an individual primarily estimates their satisfaction in relationships. Two partners within one relationship can have different satisfaction levels and requirements from their union.  The study aims to identify each participants attachment style and further measure their marital satisfaction. The data has been collected through an online questionnaire for the 65 married participants belonging to different parts of India. The questionnaire consisted of the 18-item Adult Attachment Scale by Collins and Reed with a 5-point likert scale and the 16-item Couples Satisfaction Index (CSI-16) by Funk and Rogge. Regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses. The result showed that individuals with a Close attachment style tend to experience significantly higher relationship satisfaction compared to those with an Anxiety attachment style. Similarly, individuals with a Depend attachment style exhibit significantly higher relationship satisfaction than those with an Anxiety attachment style.
