Abstract

Representations about attachment previous experiences structure the quality of new relationships later in life. This paper analyses the relations between attachment to parents, romantic attachment, life satisfaction and future orientation (hope), in 262 young adults (aged 18-to-34 years old; M=21.3; DP=3.12). The Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA), the Romantic Attachment (QVP), Satisfaction with Life (SWL); and Hope Scale were used. The two kinds of attachment seem to be independent; SWL and future orientation variation are explained by attachment to parents (but not by romantic attachment).
