Title: Young people's romantic attachment styles and their associations with well-being
Author(s): Moore, Susan M.; Leung, Cynthia
Abstract: This research, based on attachment theory, examined the relationships between romantic attachment styles, romantic attitudes and well-being among 461 tertiary students, aged 17-21 years. Those with secure romantic attachment styles were less stressed, less lonely and more satisfied academically than those with clingy or casual/fickle styles, independent of current relationship status.
