Attachment Style and Marital Conflict

Abstract

Abstract I wanted to explore how adult attachment styles connect to marital conflict among married people here in India. Drawing from attachment theory, the study looked at the main styles: secure, anxious, avoidant, checked conflict levels in marriages, and tested if they link up. It used a cross-sectional correlational approach with 84 participants recruited through convenience and snowball sampling (all married at least 6 months, ages varied). Attachment was measured with the Attachment Style Questionnaire-Short Form (ASQ-SF), and marital conflict via the Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (RDAS). Everything got analyzed in SPSS: basic descriptives, Shapiro-Wilk for normality, Pearson correlations, and ANOVA.The results showed no real correlations showed up—avoidant attachment gave r = 0.132 (p= .231), anxious r = 0.052 (p = .636). So the null hypothesis held: attachment styles don't seem to strongly predict marital conflict in this group. Maybe cultural factors or things like communication play a bigger role. The sample was small, and self-reports can be biased, so that's a limitation. Still, it points toward needing broader interventions for marriages and more long-term studies down the line.
