Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the mediating role of academic motivation in the relationship between attachment styles and life satisfaction. The sample comprised 352 participants [232 (65.9%) female, 120 (34.1%) male]. The ages of participants ranged from 15 to 33 years [Mage = 20.91, SD = 1.85]. According to the results of correlation analysis, there were significant correlations found between attachment styles, academic motivation and life satisfaction. Mediating test results revealed that academic motivation had a full mediating role in the correlations between secure and avoidant attachment styles with life satisfaction. Analyses of the anxious-ambivalent attachment style determined academic motivation had a partial mediating role. The research results offer empirical findings for both clinical and educational practice.
