The Relationship between the Type of Attachment and the Satisfaction within The Romantic Relationship
Keywords:
relationshipAbstract
The need for interpersonal connection is a fundamental human need, to feel
connected, closed and related with others. This need is one of the most powerful and
important reasons which stand for human behaviour, relationships and interactions.
The interpersonal connection has numerous aspects and influences upon all our
aspects of life. All people feel the need to connect with those around them, this need
being a universal one, that still appears from the first moments of life (Choi & Marks,
2008; Calancea, 2021). Hence, each person needs emotional support, emotional
regulation, privacy, long-term relationships, collaboration, to be part of a
community, psychological well-being, understanding and acceptance.
