Abstract
The present study investigated the relationship between attachment styles, spirituality and relationship satisfaction in university students. It was hypothesized that there is likely to be a relationship between attachment styles (avoidant, secure, anxious) spirituality and relationship satisfaction. Further, it was hypothesized that spirituality will act as a mediator between relationship satisfaction and attachment styles. The cross sectional research design was used. The sample comprised of 100 (males=50, females=50) in university students age range of 18-25 years were taken from private and public sectors of Lahore. Three assessment measures were used to assess the variables,Adult attachment scale(Collins, Stephen &Read, 1990), Spirituality Index of Wellbeing (Daaleman, &Frey, 2004), Relationship Assessment Scale Scale(Hendrick, 1988) were used. The correlation analysis revealed that avoidant and anxious attachment styles were found to be positively and significantly associated with spirituality and non-significantly correlated with relationship satisfaction. Moreover, the results revealed that spirituality was found to be significantly and negatively relatedwith relationship satisfaction. Furthermore, the mediation analysis revealed that spirituality was found to be significant between relationship satisfaction and anxious and avoidant attachment styles.
