dc.description.abstractThis study aimed to look at young adults' attachment, humor styles as independent variable and how it affects psychological well-being of young adults. Data was collected from different institutes from Lahore. A correlational research approach was used to determine the relationship between attachment, humor, and psychological distress. A purposive sample technique was used to collect the data from 225 participants from public and private institutes, 93 of them were male and 132 females. Due to certain difficulties with participant recruitment, including time limits making it impossible to contact new participants, restricted access to target demographics, and financial limitations to reach participation, data was collected limited. Different measures which include Attachment Style Scale (Hazen & Shaver, 1987), the Humor Style Scale (Martin et al., 2003), and the Psychological Distress Scale (Naseem & Ijaz, 2021) were used to measure attachment style, humor style and psychological distress. The Pearson correlation and t-test analysis were employed in the investigation. The findings of correlation analysis demonstrated a negative link between humor and psychological distress. Ultimately, this research emphasizes how important parenting practices are for young adults' mental health and how important humor is as a coping strategy.
