520 Using literature from three psychological foundations:
attachment theory, college student development theory, and
goal development theory, as the guiding premise, this
study examined the influence of human attachment styles on
the development of life aspirations. Based on the
fundamental nature of the effects of attachment style on
the development of identity, and the "crisis" of identity
development which occurs during the college years, it is
suggested that nurturing secure attachments in college
students may impact the development of intrinsically
motivated life goals. Respondents in this survey
identified a distinct attachment category to which they
associated and responded to questions related to the
importance, likelihood, and current levels of attachment
related to life aspirations. Findings from this baseline
study suggest that there may be a predictive value of
attachment style on the development of life goals,
particularly as they relate to college students with
preoccupied and dismissing attachment styles and the
development of extrinsic aspirations. Discussion related
to these findings, as well as implications for higher
education, are included in this paper
