Religious commitment, attachment styles, and Attitude towards Infidelity among Young Adults in India
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study investigates the interplay between attachment styles and religious commitment in influencing attitudes toward infidelity among young adults in India. Employing a quantitative research design, data were gathered from 196 participants aged 18-25 through online surveys. Measures included the Revised Adult Attachment Scale (RAAS), Religious Commitment Inventory- 10, and Attitude Towards Infidelity Scale. The findings revealed no significant correlation between attachment styles or religious commitment and attitudes toward infidelity. These findings suggest that cultural and societal norms may have a stronger influence on attitude towards fidelity or infidelity in India, than individual attachment styles or religious factors. A notable finding was that individuals with anxious attachment showed a slight positive association with religious commitment, possibly seeking emotional support through religion. This study highlights the significance and importance of culturally sensitive approaches in understanding relationship dynamics within the Indian context.
