Abstract
In this study, the researcher scrutinized the relationship among attachment styles, optimism and loneliness in 9-12 year old students in Karaj. The approach used for the research was post expository. Sampls included 200 students (100 males and 100 females) who were selected randomly to study their attachment styles using Ronaghi attachment style scale (1387), and Peterson et al. attributional styles (ASQ) scales. A questionnaire to measure loneliness and Asher et al variance analysis scale was utilized too. Data were analyzed by the following methods of Descriptive (M, SD) and deductive methods (Pearson’s coefficient correlation and multivariate analysis of variance - MANOVA). Results showed that there was a significant relation among optimism, loneliness and attachment styles which depicted a very omnipotent factor for child upbringing and future life. Both above-mentioned approaches played an influential role and they altered into a comprehensive introvert factor inside child s personality.
