The Relationship Between attachment Styles and the Kind of Marriage (Polygamy-Monogamy)

his paper examines relationship between attachment styles and polygamy using a sample of 245 married men. Previous research indicates a relationship between attachment styles and adult behavioral patterns, especially in romantic relationships and marital adjustment. According to each personʹs marital history, monogamous and polygamous subjects were identified Using Hazan and Shaverʹs adult attachment Styles, and their attachment styles were determined.The results of the Null hypothesis test indicate that a meaningful relationship can not be found between attachment styles and polygamy. The Xʹ test indicates that secure attachment style is common in both groups (monogamous %75 and polygamous %65). Based on the findings of the research, insecure attachment styles can not represent polygamy and this type of behavior shows a stronger relationship with secure attachment patterns. It seems that the evolutionary basis of mating behavior has preserved itself in the context of each society, unaffected by cultural definitions, rules and regulations. Consequently polygamous behavior (either in itʹs legal form or as an extra marital relationship) exists in many societies. Since attachment theory benefits from Evolutionary Psychology and etiology, it seems natural that, at least from this particular point of view, polygamous behavior should be considered normal and free of psychopathologic factors.
