Abstract

Our study examines the relations of attachment and personality dimensions in young adults. Particular focus of the study is attachment to friends, a form of intimate relations that is less frequently represented in attachment research. For this purpose, modified Brennan's Inventory of Experience in Close Relations (Kamenov & Jelić, 2003) and NEO PI-R assessing five personality dimensions (Costa & McCrae, 1992) were administered to the sample of 352 university students. Results demonstrate a variety of relations between two dimensions of attachment to friends and personality traits, both at the domain and facet level. Anxious attachment to friends is primarily related to neuroticism, while avoidance in friendships is mainly characterized by lower results in two interpersonal domains, extraversion and agreeableness. (IN CROATIAN: Istraživanje ispituje povezanost privrženosti i osobina ličnosti kod mlađih odraslih osoba. Poseban je naglasak na privrženosti u prijateljstvima, jer je taj oblik bliskih veza razmjerno manje zastupljen u istraživanjima privrženosti. Prilagođeni Brennanov Inventar iskustava u bliskim vezama (Kamenov i Jelić, 2003.) i NEO PI-R upitnik koji ispituje pet temeljnih dimenzija ličnosti (Costa i McCrae, 1992.) primijenjeni su na uzorku od 352 studentice i studenta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Rezultati pokazuju brojne veze između privrženosti i ličnosti i na razini širokih dimenzija i na razini specifičnih faceta ličnosti. Anksiozni tip privrženosti prijateljima povezan je prije svega s neuroticizmom, dok je izbjegavanje u prijateljskim vezama uglavnom povezano s nižim rezultatima u dvije interpersonalne domene ličnosti, ekstraverziji i ugodnosti.)
