Though multiple levels were designed into the attachment scales, the overall hypothesis was supported. Those with insecure attachments have a higher rate of avoidance and anxiety in their interpersonal relationships. Higher levels of preoccupied and fearful attachment styles are attributed to their association with low self-esteem. This research study stood in congruence with previous research in that, insecure attachments were shown to be associated with lower life satisfaction, suggesting an association with lower well-being. An intriguing question that arises from these results concerns the relationships between the participants and their fathers. The descriptive statistics, total mean score, for total anxiety and avoidance suggest students feel more anxious and avoidant toward their fathers, more so than in their relationships with mothers, partners, and friends. Researchers attributed this to the bond formed with mothers in early childhood.

Many studies have been completed singularly or compared only two variables, but never multiple – as did this research study. Previous research suggested attachment to be a fixed depiction of that person; however, in recent studies, it has been recommended that research be conducted over a period of time to capture all stages of coping and motivation. So that coping mechanisms and motivations of a person can be analyzed in conjunction with the life events of said person: thereby aiming to provide a more thorough investigation. More research on the partners of those with insecure attachments was proposed to determine what coping mechanisms have developed due to adjusting to the partner. Individuals should have support services to help work on motivation and better coping strategies, therefore the knowledge to help rationalize
