Evaluating the Effects of Attachment Styles on Relationship Maintenance Behaviors in Father-Daughter Relationships

Narissra M. Punyanunt-Carter

Texas Tech University, n.punyanunt{at}ttu.edu

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of attachment styles on relationship maintenance behaviors in father-daughter relationships. Two hundred and seven father-daughter dyads participated in the study. Results indicate that both daughters’ and fathers’ attachment styles do not affect their relationship maintenance behaviors. Results also demonstrate that fathers are more likely than daughters to use all the relationship maintenance behaviors except for social networks. Moreover, fathers are more likely to use shared tasks and advice relationship maintenance behaviors than are their daughters.

Key Words: attachment • father-daughter relationship • relationship maintenance • attachment styles • communication
