        abstract = {The present quantitative method study investigates the intricate relationship between attachment style, loneliness, and anxiety within different relationship statuses and age groups. Through a statistical approach, the study aims to fill a notable gap in existing literature by examining how these variables intersect and influence mental health outcomes. The research, conducted with a diverse sample comprising single, married and Committed Individuals in Early and Middle Adulthood Population, utilized standardized tools including the UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3, Adult Attachment Scale (AAS), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) to collect data. The impetus behind this research lies in recognizing the prevalent issue of anxiety among single, married, and committed individuals in early and middle adulthood, alongside the recognition that attachment style and loneliness wield significant influence on anxiety levels. In the study, both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Attachment Theory have been employed to elucidate their correlation and mutual influence. SPSS v. 22.0 revealed that the collected data for loneliness, adult attachment, and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) conformed to normal distributions, thus validating the employment of parametric tests for further analysis, thereby ensuring the reliability and robustness of the findings. Analysis of the data revealed a significant correlation between loneliness and anxiety, suggesting that higher levels of loneliness correspond to increased levels of anxiety among the surveyed population. However, while correlations between loneliness and adult attachment were not deemed significant, this study acknowledges this limitation and suggests avenues for future research. Despite this, the study underscores the importance of attachment type and its relationship with anxiety and loneliness in mental health outcomes. While the direct correlation between loneliness, attachment type, and anxiety may not be as pronounced in this particular survey, the findings highlight their collective significance in understanding mental health, particularly anxiety.},
