This study seeks to investigate the relationship between attachment styles and cluster B and C personality disorders. The statistical population included all undergraduate students of Islamic Azad University in the academic year 2010–2011. A total number of 600 students were asked to fill the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III), 150 of which were diagnosed with personality disorder. They were asked to complete the Adult Attachment Scale, as well. Tools used for data collection included the MCMI-III and Adult Attachment Scale whose reliability and validity are significant. The findings showed no significant relationship between secure, ambivalent and avoidant attachments and cluster B personality disorder. However, a significant negative relationship existed between secure attachment and cluster C personality disorder and a significant negative relationship with avoidant and ambivalent attachment styles. Moreover, insecure attachment styles (avoidant and ambivalent) had a significant positive relationship with both cluster B and cluster C personality disorders. Regression results also showed that only ambivalent and avoidant attachment styles could predict cluster C personality disorder while none of them could predict cluster B personality disorder. The results demonstrated that there is no relationship between attachment styles and Cluster B personality disorder.
