Abstract: One of the most important consequences of maintaining secure attachment relationships is their \ncontribution to the healthy development of various aspects of the self-concept. Among these, are the \nstructural components, those that account for the organization of the contents and beliefs of the selfconcept. \nDifferent investigations have evidenced that secure attachment relationships are \ntranscendental for the development of a well-organized structure of the self and with important selfregulatory \nand adaptive functions, and in this way, associations have been found in adulthood \nbetween the secure attachment style and some aspects of the self. However, there is little research \nsupporting the association between adult attachment and differentiation of self, particularly in the \nLatin-American context. Therefore, the goal of the present study was to analyze the relationships \nbetween adult attachment (dimensions and styles) and differentiation of self. The research involved \n100 adults from Metropolitan Lima, between the ages of 20 and 57 years (M= 34.67, SD= 11.15). \nTo measure the constructs, the Relationship Questionnaire (RQ) and the Differentiation of Self \nInventory-Revised (DSI-R) were used. Anxiety dimension, secure attachment style and preoccupied \nattachment style were found to be significantly related to the differentiation of self, which match the \nidea that relationships with caregivers and the various significant figures go hand in hand with the \nability of self-regulation and the acquisition of autonomy.
