The present study was designed to investigate the mediating role of
attachment styles between family history and the K factor. A purposive
sample of 350 adults was drawn from different cities of Punjab. Urdu
translated versions of Egna Minnen Betraffande Uppfostran - Short Form
(sEMGU) - Child (Arrindell, et al., 1999), Revised Adult Attachment Scale
(Collins, 1996), and High K Strategy Scale (Giosan, 2006) were used to
measure family history, attachment styles, and K factor, respectively. Path
analysis revealed that parental emotional warmth, the age of maturity,
close attachment, and anxious attachment positively predicted whereas
parental rejection and dependent attachment negatively predicted the K
factor. Furthermore, anxious attachment mediated between parental
rejection and K factor, whereas close and dependent attachment styles
mediated between parental over-protection and K factor. Limitations of the
study and implications for future research have been reflected upon.
