Abstract
The current study investigated the interrelationships among parental attachment, gratitude, and life satisfaction during late adolescence, including the mediation effect of gratitude in the relationship between parental attachment and life satisfaction. Specifically, analyses have been conducted considering both paternal and maternal roles. A sample of two hundred and eighty-five college students participated and completed measures of paternal attachment, maternal attachment, gratitude, and life satisfaction. A cross-sectional design was conducted in the present study. The results showed statistically significant relationships among all study variables, and gratitude partially mediated the relationship between life satisfaction and attachment to one’s father and mother. The current work advances the understanding of the effects of parents of different gender on individuals’ development.
