- <p><strong><em><span>Abstract</span></em></strong></p> <p><em><span>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<span> </span>and<span> </span>snowball<span> </span>sampling<span> </span>(all<span> </span>married<span> </span>at<span> </span>least<span> </span>6<span> </span>months,<span> </span>ages<span> </span>varied).<span> </span>Attachment was measured with the Attachment Style Questionnaire-Short Form (ASQ-SF), and marital conflict<span> </span>via<span> </span>the<span> </span>Revised<span> </span>Dyadic<span> </span>Adjustment<span> </span>Scale<span> </span>(RDAS).<span> </span>Everything<span> </span>got<span> </span>analyzed<span> </span>in<span> </span>SPSS: basic descriptives, Shapiro-Wilk for normality, Pearson correlations, and ANOVA.The<span> </span>results<span> </span>showed<span> </span>no<span> </span>real<span> </span>correlations<span> </span>showed<span> </span>up—avoidant<span> </span>attachment<span> </span>gave<span> </span>r<span> </span>=<span> </span>0.132<span> (p</span>= .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.
