Abstract: This study investigated the relationship between parental attachment security and friendship and romantic relationship outcomes of first semester college students. 168 college freshmen completed a measure of parental attachment security before their first semester of college and measures to assess ease forming close relationships at college, satisfaction in close relationships at college, and social anxiety at the end of their first semester of college. Results of the study indicated that college students who were more securely attached to their parents at the beginning of the Freshmen year experienced greater ease forming close friendships and romantic relationships at college and more satisfaction in those close relationships.
