Attachment style affects behaviors in adulthood as well as in childhood. Also it may affect many factors in adult life such as partner choices in romantic relationships, life satisfaction and emotional expression. For instance the life satisfaction of individuals who are securely attached to their partners is higher. Also it is thought that securely attached individuals seeking support as a way of coping with stressful situations will reflect their feelings more to find support although insecurely attached individuals will reflect their feelings less to cope with the problem. In this study, the relationship between attachment style in romantic relationship, preferred love type, emotional expression and life satisfaction is examined. Two hundred and twenty six adults participated in the study. It has been seen that individuals who are securely attached to their partners prefer the Eros love type while individuals who are insecurely attached prefer Ludus, Pragma and Mania love types. No significant difference between attachment styles in terms of general emotional expression, positive emotional expression, and negative emotional expression. Finally, it has been seen that the life satisfaction of individuals who are securely attached to their partners is higher than those who are insecurely attached. Some of the findings were consistent with the literature. Inconsistent findings were discussed in context of the literature.
