Family relations are key to overall life satisfaction hence the study was conducted on the topic of effect of family cohesiveness on life satisfaction. The sample included 58 males, 68 females and 2 non binary, making a total of 128 participants. The participants were given two self-report measures i.e., the FACES-IV Scale and the Life Satisfaction Scale 11. The findings suggested a significant positive correlation between overall cohesion and life satisfaction; a weak negative correlation between disengaged family attachment style and life satisfaction and a significant positive correlation between balanced cohesion and life satisfaction. The relationship between enmeshed attachment style and life satisfaction was found to be insignificant. The relationship between satisfaction with psychological health and family cohesion was found to be significant positive correlation. Univariate analysis of study suggested that the study has a high level of explanatory power, with an R-squared of .810 (adjusted R-squared of .425), indicating that 81% of the variance in Life Satisfaction can be explained by the model. The main effect of Cohesion is significant, indicating that individuals with higher levels of Balanced Cohesion tend to have higher Life Satisfaction scores. The implications and limitations of the study were also discussed. The results of the study were consistent with past researches and the implications and limitations of the same were also discussed.
