Abstract: In
the present study, the relation between attachment styles and the social
acceptance was investigated in a sample of students. The aim of this study was
to investigate the relation between secure, avoidant, and anxious attachment
styles and the social acceptance level in high school students in boarding
schools. A total of 329 students (male and female) from boarding high school in
the province of lorestan participated in the study. They filled out adult
attachment inventory (AAI) and social acceptance scale (SAS). Findings showed
that there is a negative meaningful association between secure and anxious
attachment styles and the social acceptance. And avoidant attachment style is
not meaningfully associated with the social acceptance. In this regard, secure
and anxious styles could account for changes related to the social acceptance.
And according to these findings, one can observe the correlation between
attachment styles and the social acceptance.
