This study examined the effect of attachment styles on the life satisfaction of adults and the serial mediating effect of self-efficacy, self-love, and fear of compassion in this effect for the first time in the literature to the best of our knowledge. The study group consisted of a total of 639 adults. As a result of the study, it is seen that secure attachment affects life satisfaction positively. This process is mediated by the variables of high self-efficacy, high self-love, and low fear of compassion. However, avoidant attachment seems to negatively affect life satisfaction. This process is mediated by low self-efficacy, low self-love, and high fear of compassion variables. Apart from these results, it was observed that anxious-ambivalent attachment negatively affected life satisfaction, but this relationship was not mediated by self-efficacy, self-love, and fear of compassion. This result may be due to the fact that people with anxious-ambivalent attachment style perceive others positively despite seeing themselves as worthless and inadequate. These people may not want to show compassion for themselves because they have low self-worth, but they may show compassion for others because they find them valuable.
据我们所知，本研究首次在文献中探讨了依恋风格对成年人生活满意度的影响，以及自我效能感、自爱和对同情的恐惧在这一影响中的系列中介作用。研究组共有639名成年人。研究结果表明，安全型依恋对生活满意度有积极影响。这一过程由高自我效能感、高自爱和低对同情的恐惧等变量介导。然而，回避型依恋似乎对生活满意度有负面影响。这一过程由低自我效能感、低自爱和高对同情的恐惧等变量介导。除了这些结果，还观察到焦虑矛盾型依恋对生活满意度有负面影响，但这种关系并未由自我效能感、自爱和对同情的恐惧介导。这一结果可能是由于具有焦虑矛盾型依恋风格的人尽管认为自己毫无价值且能力不足，但仍积极看待他人。这些人可能因自我价值感低而不想对自己表现出同情，但可能因觉得他人有价值而对他人表现出同情。
