The aim of the present study was to predict children’s attachment indices from parental attachment indices. Two hundred and seven students (146 females, 56 males, 5 unspecified) and their parents (207 fathers, 207 mothers) were selected from universities of Tehran using convenience sampling method. The participants completed the Adult Attachment Inventory (AAI; Besharat, 2011, 2013). The results indicated that parental attachment indices correlated significantly with children's attachment indices. The results of mixed model indicated that parental attachment indices could predicted children's attachment indices and attachment styles transmitted from parents to children intergenerationally. All three maternal attachment styles (secure, avoidant, ambivalent) could predicted children's attachment styles (secure, avoidant, resistant). However, paternal avoidant attachment style couldn’t predict children's attachment styles. The findings suggest that the attachment characteristics have the capacity to transmit from one generation to the other, by knowing the intergenerational mechanisms the attachment characteristics of the next generation can be predicted, and the transmission of pathological features could be prevented and healthy characteristics could be improved by implementing educational interventions.

Attachment style can be problems with the manner of his reaction against social problems and predict failures. The attachment types which are described three attachment styles: secure attachment, avoidant attachment, and attachment anxiety insecure - ambivalent. Studies have shown that attachment styles are an important predictor for mental health, and those with insecure attachment style more secure than those exposed to psychological problems such as anxiety, depression, etc. are. Therefore, this study was to investigate the relationship between attachment styles and depression, anxiety and stress among university students. In order to evaluate attachment attachment style questionnaire Collins and Reid and the rate of depression, stress and anxiety of students from DASS questionnaire was used. The results showed that between secure and insecure attachment styles and variables, depression, anxiety and stress, but there is no significant relationship between insecure attachment style with a variable depression, anxiety and stress there is a significant positive relationship (P<0/01). The results of the analysis, stepwise regression showed that Dlbstky style ambivalent, 14 percent predict rates of depression, anxiety and 26 percent, with 58 percent predicting a predictor of stress in students.

The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between attachment styles (secure, insecure) and psychological well-being, mediated by the role of cognitive flexibility. This research was a correlational study. A total of 272 participants were selected by means of multistage cluster sampling among Shiraz university undergraduate students. The data were gathered by using 3 measures: Adult Attachment Scale (Collins & Reid,1996), Scale Psychological Well-Being (Ryff, 1989) and Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (Dennis & Vander Wal, 2010). Using Pearson's correlation coefficient and path analysis with software, SPSS 20 and Amos 22, the data were analyzed. The results of path analysis indicated that the model had a good fit to the data. The secure attachment styles had a significant positive direct effect on psychological well-being. And insecure (avoidance, ambivalence) attachment style had a significant negative direct effect on psychological well-being. Also attachment style had predicted psychological well-being stronger by mediating cognitive flexibility. The results of the prediction showed that, when people with a secure attachment style have more cognitive flexibility, they experience a higher psychological well-being.

we examined the relationship between attachment styles (secure, avoidant, and ambivalent) and three strategies of coping with stress (problem-focused, positive emotion-focused, and negative emotion-focused). The Adult Attachment Inventory (Besharat, 2005; Hazan & Shaver, 1987) and the Tehran Coping Styles Scale (Besharat 2005; Carver, Shearer, & Winthrop, 1989) were completed by 120 female and 103 male Iranian students. The results revealed a statistically reliable relationship between attachment styles and coping strategies. Secure attachment style was positively correlated with problem-focused and positive emotion-focused coping styles, and negatively associated with negative emotion-focused co- ping style. Avoidant attachment style was positively cor- related with problem-focused and negative emotion-foc- used coping styles. Ambivalent attachment style was posi- tively correlated with positive emotion-focused coping style. We concluded that coping strategies are influenced by attachment styles.

The aim of this study was to predict the aggression of students based on callous- unemotional trait, early traumatic events, and attachment styles (secure and insecure attachment style).
For this purpose, a sample of 320 high school students were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. The instruments of this study were Boss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ), Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits (ICU), Early Trauma Inventory (ETI), and revised adult attachment scale (RAAS). Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression.
The results showed callous-unemotional traits (r=0/29), early traumatic life events (r=0/34) and insecure attachment (r=0/32) had a significant positive relationship, and secure attachment (r=-0/20) and had a significant negative relationship with aggression. Also the results of multiple regression showed that early traumatic life events, callous-unemotional traits, insecure attachment and secure attachment could predict 0.25 percent of the total variance of aggression.
The results showed that early traumatic life events, callous-unemotional traits, insecure attachment and secure attachment are risk factors in the development are aggression.

The relation between attachment styles and alexithymia were investigated in a sample of students. A correlational analysis was performed to assess the kind of association existing among attachment styles (secure, avoidant, and ambivalent), with alexithymia and its three components which include difficulty identifying feelings, difficulty describing feelings, and externally oriented thinking. Three hundred and six students (136 male, 170 female) from the University of Tehran participated in the study. All participants were asked to complete the Adult Attachment Inventory (AAI) and Farsi version of the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (FTAS-20). Data analysis involved both descriptive and inferential statistics including mean, standard deviation, multivariate analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and regression analysis. Secure attachment style showed a significant negative association with alexithymia, while insecure attachment styles showed significant positive association with alexithymia. Results of regression analysis also revealed that avoidant attachment style can predict changes of difficulty describing feelings, while ambivalent attachment style Could predict difficulty identifying feelings and externally oriented thinking. It can be concluded that attachment styles are associated with alexithymia and its components. Results and implications are discussed.

The purpose of the present study was to determine the level of relationship between family communication patterns (conversation orientation and conformity orientation), and attachment styles (secure, insecure-ambivalent and insecure-avoidant) in female students of Andimeshk Islamic Azad University. The population comprised all the female students studying in Islamic Azad University, Andimeshk branch, out of whom a sample of 322 girls was selected using a random multistage sampling. The research employed descriptive-correlational method. The research’s data gathering tools included Koerner & Fitzpatrick Family Communication Patterns Questionnaire (children's version) (2002), Attachment Styles Questionnaire by Kolinz & Reed (1990) and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (revised version) (2002). Pearson correlation analysis and step-wise regressions were used in order to analyze the data. Results indicated that conversation and conformity orientation and happiness are significantly and positively correlated to one another. Moreover, there existed significant and positive relationship between secure attachment style and happiness; whereas, significant and negative relationship was observed between avoidant and ambivalent attachment styles and happiness. Furthermore, according to the results of step-wise regression analysis, secure attachment styles, conversation orientation and conformity orientation are the best predictors of happiness, respectively.

The aim of this study was to determine and compare the effectiveness of emotion-oriented therapy and group schema therapy on attachment styles (secure, avoidant and ambivalent) of women with marital burnout at ddistrict 3 of Tehran .45 female of the mentioned population were selected via purposive sampling method and randomly assigned in two experimental and one control groups. The research was quasi-experimental with pre-test-post-test and follow-up test. Hazen and Shiver (1987) Attachment Styles Questionnaire was implemented to collect data. Both treatment methods were conducted for 8 session 90 minutes each. Research data were analyzed using multi variables analysis of covariance, one way analysis of covariance and Bonferroni post hoc test. Findings showed that both oriented-focused and group schema therapy were effective on secure, avoidant and ambivalent attachment styles. The results of comparing the two therapies also showed that the emotion-oriented therapy was more effective on attachment styles of women with marital burn out than group schema therapy.
