Abstract

The goal of this study was to see if maternal language barriers moderate the association between attachment security and academic success within a diverse sample of college students (18-30 years old). Participants were recruited to take an anonymous online survey (N = 68) through various social media platforms (Facebook, Snap chat, etc.). Respondents answered questions in regard to attachment security, their current academic achievement (GPA), and maternal language barriers. Findings indicated that the relationship between attachment and GPA was significant only among students whose mothers did not have language barriers.
