خلاصة:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between attachment styles (secure, avoidant, ambivalent) and personality dimensions (neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, conscientiousness). Two hundred and thirty-three students from Tehran University (102 boys, 131 girls) participated in this research by completing the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) and the Five-Factor Model Personality Scale (NEO-FFI). The results of this descriptive research showed that: There is a significant positive correlation between secure attachment style and extraversion and agreeableness. There is a significant positive correlation between insecure attachment styles (avoidant and ambivalent) and neuroticism. There is a significant negative correlation between insecure attachment styles (avoidant and ambivalent) and extraversion. There is a significant negative correlation between ambivalent attachment style and conscientiousness. There is a significant negative correlation between ambivalent attachment style and conscientiousness. There is a significant negative correlation between avoidant attachment style and agreeableness. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that secure and insecure internal models of self and others, which are formed within the framework of infant-mother attachment relationships, influence the formation of personality traits.

37-55 Investigating the Relationship between Attachment Styles and Personality Dimensions Mohammad Ali Besharat Associate Professor, University of Tehran Keyumars Karimi Master of Psychology - University of Tehran Abbas Rahimi Nejad Assistant Professor, University of Tehran Abstract Received: 2005-09-05 The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between attachment styles (secure, avoidant, ambivalent) and personality dimensions (neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, conscientiousness).
Two hundred and thirty-three students from the University of Tehran (102 males, 131 females) participated in this research by completing the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) and the Five-Factor Model of Personality (NEO-FFI).
Based on the findings of the research, it can be concluded that secure and insecure internal working models of self and others, which are formed within the framework of infant-mother attachment relationships, influence the formation of personality traits.
It is probably possible to say that primary temperaments, such as sociability, activity, and emotionality, turn into dimensions after development that we know under titles such as extraversion and neuroticism (Buss 4 and Plomin 5, 1984; Caspi 6 and Roberts 7, 1999; McCrae and Costa, 1997; Delvechio 8, 2000; quoted from Pervin and John, 1381).
The variables under investigation in this research include attachment at two levels of secure and insecure, and personality dimensions including extraversion, neuroticism, openness to experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness.
The results of the research also showed that insecure attachment styles (avoidant and ambivalent) have a positive correlation with the neuroticism dimension of personality and can significantly predict changes related to neuroticism.
