The main objective of this research is to construct and validate a picture projection test which is geared to assess the degree of attachment in children aged 6 to 12 years. The random sampling procedure involved 500 primary school children year 1 to 5 who studied in Karaj city and were assessed on the attachment scale. Drawing on the obtained results from 90 ‘unsafe’ children, a population of 30 pupils, boys and girls were randomly selected and were tallied in terms of sex, age, class level, and region with the results obtained from 30 children-boys and girls-out of a population of 410 pupils. A projection test was then administered on these 60 pupils. The following steps were taken in constructing the test: (1) interviews with children and adults; (2) identification of anxiety-generating situations; (3) analyzing the animals drawn in the paintings; (4) determination of content criteria on the basis of content analysis of the stories; (5) implementation of the three principles of safety, anxiety, and avoidance in analyzing the types of attachment; (6) designation of six anxiety-generating situations each of which was illustrated in the three stages of union, separation, and child-parent reunion.
According to the obtained results, the attachment projection test has sufficient reliability and validity.

The sample included all the married students of public universities’, of Tehran living in the dormitory, is composed of 174 married students (87 couples) selected by cluster sampling and randomization. ENRICH and NEO-FF-I questionnaires were used to data gathering. Results showed a significant but negative relationship between neuroticism with marital satisfaction and significant and positive relationship between extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness with marital satisfaction. there was no significant relationship between openness with marital satisfaction. Furthermore results of multivariate regression analysis showed that neuroticism and agreeableness have the most relationship with marital satisfaction. Thus they have power of prediction at a level significant statistically.
