This study aimed to examine the influence of romantic attachment styles on relationship satisfaction among students of the Management Study Program at STIE Eka Prasetya who were involved in romantic relationships. A quantitative approach with a multiple linear regression design was employed. The sample consisted of 167 students aged 18–25 years, selected using purposive sampling. The independent variable, romantic attachment style, comprised three dimensions: secure attachment, avoidance attachment, and anxious attachment, while the dependent variable was relationship satisfaction. Data were collected using Likert-scale instruments that demonstrated good validity and reliability, with Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients of 0.894 for the relationship satisfaction scale and 0.964 for the romantic attachment style scale. The results indicated that romantic attachment styles simultaneously had a significant effect on relationship satisfaction (F = 55.404; p < .05). Partially, secure attachment showed a positive and significant effect, avoidance attachment also demonstrated a significant effect, whereas anxious attachment had no significant effect on relationship satisfaction. These findings highlight the important role of secure attachment in enhancing relationship satisfaction among university students.
