Abstract

Abstract: In personality development, attachment theory is particularly well related to emotional intelligence in terms the socialization through emotions occurring within the child-caregiver relationship. Based on Bartholomew & Horowitz studies (1991) on the link between attachment, self-esteem and sociability, this study examined the correlations between the types of adult attachment, self-esteem level and emotional intelligence development. 65 adults were evaluated with Adult Attachment Scale (Collins & Read, 1990 ), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965), Emotional Intelligence Test (adapted Roco by Bar-On, 1997). The results show the fact that the types of adult attachment influenced self-esteem level and the emotional intelligence development.
