چکیده:
In this research, the relationship between secure, avoidant, and ambivalent attachment styles with emotional intelligence was examined in a student sample. Two hundred students from the University of Tehran (701 girls, 39 boys) participated in this study by completing the Adult Attachment Scale and the Emotional Intelligence Scale. To analyze the research data, statistical identifiers such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-tests, correlation, and regression were used. Findings showed that attachment styles have a significant relationship with emotional intelligence. The secure attachment style has a positive correlation, while insecure attachment styles (avoidant and ambivalent) have a negative correlation with emotional intelligence. Secure attachment style increases the level of emotional intelligence through positive 'internal working models' of self and others, positive 'emotional reception', and strengthening 'emotional management'. Insecure attachment styles also decrease the level of emotional intelligence through negative 'internal working models' of self and others, negative 'emotional reception', and weakening 'emotional management'. Attachment styles also affect emotional intelligence levels through various 'emotion regulation' strategies.

com Abstract In this research, the relationship between secure, avoidant, and ambivalent attachment styles with emotional intelligence has been investigated in a student sample.
Secure attachment style increases the level of emotional intelligence through positive "internal working models" of self and others, positive "emotional perception," and strengthening "emotional management.
" Insecure attachment styles also decrease the level of emotional intelligence through negative "internal working models" of self and others, negative "emotional perception," and weakening "emotional management.
Emotional Management Attachment theory1 (Bowlby2, 1969; 1971; 1980) claims that experiences related to the child-mother (caregiver) emotional bond are internalized and, through the construction of internal working models3, expand to all of the child's interpersonal relationships and remain relatively stable throughout different stages of life (Bretherton4, 1991; Main, Kaplan, and Cassidy5, 1985; West and Sheldon-Keller6, 1994).
In Bowlby's framework, Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters, and Wall7 (1978) described three attachment styles: secure8, avoidant9, and ambivalent01 in childhood.
Secure, avoidant, and ambivalent individuals use completely different strategies for regulating emotions and processing emotional data (Shaver, Collins, and Clark81, 1991).
Based on the findings and evidence available regarding the research subject variables, the following hypotheses are examined: 1- Secure attachment style has a positive correlation with emotional intelligence.
Table 3- Independent samples t-test results for comparing subjects in attachment style and emotional intelligence scores (Refer to the page image) Based on this, the correlation coefficients of the scores of female and male subjects for the research variables were obtained.
