Abstract	SEXUAL ORIENTATION, ATTACHMENT, AND ADULT RELATIONSHIP QUALITY Earl Calvin Riggins, III Old Dominion University, 1993 Comparisons were made between 55 heterosexual males, 49 heterosexual females, 56 homosexual males, and 35 homosexual females on measures of attachment, relationship satisfaction and relationship success. Results indicated that adult homosexuals experience greater difficulty than adult heterosexuals in becoming close to others. Individuals endorsing the secure attachment style reported greater relationship satisfaction than individuals endorsing either of the two insecure attachment styles. In addition, females reported greater relationship satisfaction than males. Significantly more individuals endorsing the secure attachment style reported their mothers to have been warm/responsive; significantly more heterosexual males and females than homosexual females reported their mothers to have been warm/responsive; significantly more homosexual males than homosexual females reported their fathers to have been cold/rejecting. A discussion of the findings and suggestions for future research are given. Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission.
