Abstract :
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between love styles and attachment styles with the marital adjustment of married women working in education in Tehran. The research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of this study included all married women working in education in Tehran in 1403 (2024). Cluster and random sampling methods were used. The participants completed the Attitude toward Love (Love Styles) Questionnaire (Hendrick & Hendrick, 1986), the Attachment Questionnaire (Collins & Reid, 1990), and the Marital Adjustment Questionnaire (Spanier, 1976). To examine the relationships between the research variables, the Pearson correlation method was used, and to analyze the nature of these relationships, multivariate regression was applied using the latest version of SPSS-28 software.The results revealed a significant correlation between attachment styles and marital adjustment, as well as between love styles and marital adjustment among married women working in education in Tehran. According to the findings, there was a positive and significant relationship between the love styles of Eros, Storge, Pragma, and Agape with marital adjustment, while a negative and significant relationship was found between the love styles of Ludus and Mania with marital adjustment. According to the significance level, Eros love style (with an impact coefficient of 0.284), Ludus (with an impact coefficient of -0.14), Storge (with an impact coefficient of 0.29), Pragma (with an impact coefficient of 0.12), Mania (with an impact coefficient of -0.14), and Secure attachment style (with an impact coefficient of 0.09) were able to predict marital adjustment. However, Agape love style, as well as avoidant and anxious attachment styles, were not able to predict marital adjustment.
