Abstract: The present paper aims to identify the influence of attachment style from the perspective of resilience seen as a result of an interactive process between the individual and the environment. Specialized studies have shown that there is a direct influence between the attachment style acquired in childhood, which is seen on a continuum, can be maintained until adulthood, or can undergo changes depending on individual differences, and the level of resilience. The authors using as instrument questionnaire AAS (Adult Attachment Scale) with three dimensions for each attachment style: dependence on others, anxiety in relationships, and closeness/intimacy and CD – RISC indicating measuring resilience according to personal competence, high standards and tenacity, confidence in one’s intuitions, tolerance towards negative effects and the fortifying effects of stress, positive acceptance of change and relationships of trust, control and spiritual influences. The authors used the statistical method Man-Whitney U test, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy (KMO-MSE) index, and Bartlett’s test of sphericity were determined to assess factor analysis. The conclusions indicate that subjects with an avoidant dominant attachment style have a different level of resilience compared to subjects with a secure dominant attachment style. Subjects with an avoidant dominant attachment style had a higher level of resilience than subjects with a secure dominant attachment style.
