Having a romantic relationship is one of the developmental task characteristics of young

adults. Forming a satisfying romantic relationship is related to numerous positive effects

and influence by several factors, one of them is attachment style. Previous studies have

investigated the underlying mechanism between the strong association of attachment and

relationship satisfaction. Apart from being influenced by attachment, relationship

satisfaction is also influenced by self-compassion, which facilitates individuals to act

positively in their romantic relationships. The purpose of this study is to investigate

whether self-compassion mediates the association between attachment style (avoidant

and anxious attachment) and romantic relationship satisfaction among dating young

adults. This quantitative research has 441 sample of young adults age 18-30. Attachment

style is measured with Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised; self-compassion with

Self-Compassion Scale; and relationship satisfaction with Relationship Assessment

Scale. The result of this study shows that self-compassion act as a mediator for the

association between avoidant attachment and relationship satisfaction, while not as a

mediator between anxious attachment and relationship satisfaction. The implication of

this study is that insecure attachment style has a strong negative effect towards

relationship satisfaction
