The current research investigated the predictive value of avoidant attachment style and emotional competence on subjective well-being in a sample of university students. Avoidant attachment style is associated with the experience of discomfort in emotional proximity, and the emotional competence is the ability of recognition, expression, and successful management of emotions. Subjective well-being is an important measure of mental health that reflects individuals' feelings about their emotional state and overall life satisfaction. A sample of 104 students from a university in Agra city, aged between 18 and 23, was evaluated using standardized assessments: the Measure of Attachment Style (MOAS), the Emotional Competence Scale, and the Subjective Well-Being Inventory (SUBI). The results of the regression analysis showed that the avoidant attachment style did not significantly predict subjective well-being, while emotional competence had a positive and significant relationship.
