Abstract

This study examines the relationship between attachment styles and deception in married couples in Mumbai. Using the Revised Adult Attachment Scale (RAAS) - Close Relationships Version, we assessed attachment styles among 200 married individuals. Deceptions were measured using the Deception in Close Relationships Scale. Results indicated significant correlations between attachment styles and lying, with avoidant and anxious attachment styles showing higher tendencies to lie compared to secure attachment styles. These findings highlight the impact of attachment styles on honesty within marital relationships and suggest potential areas for therapeutic intervention.
