Abstract

This study examines the relationship between the frequency of school changes and secure attachment levels in adult friendships. Among 143 participants (74.1% male), self-reported data revealed a strong positive correlation (r = 0.72, p < 0.001), suggesting that higher school mobility is associated with increased insecure attachment in adulthood.
