Abstract

Previous studies have shown that childhood trauma correlates with relationship satisfaction (i.e., Rellini et al., 2012), but we believe that other variables play a role in predicting relationship satisfaction in those who have experienced this childhood trauma. In our study we plan to predict relationship satisfaction (RAS, Hendrick et al, 1998) from scales measuring childhood trauma (CTQ, Bernstein et al, 2003), religiosity (CRS, Huber & Huber, 2012) and adult attachment styles (Hazan & Shaver, 1987; Collins & Read, 1996) in participants. An online survey on Qualtrics will be given to participants in A&M-SA’s student subject pool, and other sources. Multiple regression will be used for data analysis. Our purpose of this research project is to learn how the presence or absence of adverse childhood experiences could predict the outcome of adult relationships and attachment styles within those relationships.
