Sažetak
Objective. The aim of this study was to determine the separate and combined contribution of gender, age and
relationship status to the differences in attachment styles and aspects of sexuality (sexual self-esteem and sexual
satisfaction). Methods. The sample included members of the general population (N=632). The following measures were
used to examine attachment styles and aspects of sexuality: Modified Inventory of Experiences in Close Relationships,
The Sexuality Scale and The New Sexual Satisfaction Scale. Results. Gender differences were established, indicating
more pronounced anxious attachment and lower sexual self-esteem in women compared with men, regardless of
relationship status. Age was negatively associated with sexual satisfaction. Single participants had higher levels of
avoidant attachment especially in the youngest and the oldest age group. They also had lower sexual self-esteem and
sexual satisfaction compared with coupled participants. Conclusion. Gender age and relationship status contributed
individually and jointly to individual differences in attachment styles and sexual self-esteem.
