  • Self-esteem and attachment styles as predictors of marital satisfaction among secondary school teachers in Ilorin metropolis, Kwara State, Nigeria
    Lateef Omotosho Adegboyega, Adeola Aminat Odebode
    African Identities, 2026
    This study examined self-esteem and attachment styles as psychological predictors of marital satisfaction among married secondary school teachers in Ilorin metropolis, Kwara State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey design of the correlational type was adopted. The population comprised all secondary school teachers in Ilorin metropolis, from which a sample of 200 married teachers was selected using multi-stage sampling techniques. Data were collected using a researcher-developed instrument titled Self-Esteem, Attachment Styles and Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire (SASMSQ). Descriptive statistics were used to summarize respondents’ demographic characteristics and levels of the study variables, while inferential statistics, including multiple regression analysis, t-test, and analysis of variance, were employed to test the hypotheses at the 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that the respondents generally exhibited high self-esteem, predominantly secure attachment styles, and high levels of marital satisfaction. Self-esteem and attachment styles jointly and independently predicted marital satisfaction among the teachers. No significant differences were found in marital satisfaction based on gender or length of years in marriage. The study underscores the importance of individual psychological factors in shaping marital satisfaction within occupational contexts and highlights the need for counselling interventions that promote healthy self-esteem and secure attachment among teachers.
