This research paper explores the relationship between attachment style, emotional intelligence, and life satisfaction among young adults. The aim of the study is to investigate how different attachment styles and emotional intelligence levels contribute to overall life satisfaction in this demographic. The research design employed a quantitative approach, utilizing standardized questionnaires to measure attachment style, emotional intelligence, and life satisfaction. A sample of 200 young adults aged between 18 and 25 years was recruited from various educational institutions and community settings. Statistical analyses, including correlation and regression analyses, were conducted to examine the associations between the variables. The findings revealed significant correlations between attachment style, emotional intelligence, and life satisfaction. Secure attachment style was positively associated with higher levels of emotional intelligence and life satisfaction. In contrast, insecure attachment styles, such as anxious and avoidant, showed negative associations with emotional intelligence and life satisfaction. Emotional intelligence was identified as a mediator in the relationship between attachment style and life satisfaction. Individuals with higher emotional intelligence were found to have greater life satisfaction, regardless of their attachment style. Moreover, emotional intelligence played a compensatory role, attenuating the negative impact of insecure attachment styles on life satisfaction. Overall, this thesis contributes to the growing body of literature on attachment theory and emotional intelligence, providing valuable insights into their impact on life satisfaction among young adults. The findings offer implications for interventions and support systems aimed at enhancing the psychological well-being and overall satisfaction of this population.
