        abstract = {This study examined the relationships among attachment styles, communication patterns, and commitment in young adults. Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 374 Indian participants aged 18–25 years through snowball sampling. Participants completed the Adult Attachment Scale, Communication Pattern Questionnaire, and the Commitment Level subscale of the Investment Model Scale. Data were analysed using Spearman’s rank-order correlation due to violations of normality. Results indicated a significant positive relationship between attachment and communication, and between attachment and commitment. However, no significant relationship was found between communication and commitment. The findings highlight the central role of attachment orientations in shaping both interpersonal communication and commitment levels among young adults. Implications for relationship counselling and future research are discussed.},
