Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the relation between emotional intelligence, attachment styles, and homesickness.
Method: In a cross-sectional study, 280 non-local students from Razi University were chosen using the relative stratified sampling. Hazan and Shaver Attachment Scale, Cyberia Shrink Emotional Intelligence Scale, and Archer et al Homesickness Questionnaire were used in this study. Data were analyzed using multivariate regression analysis, t-test for independent groups, and Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results: Students with secure attachment felt less homesickness in comparison with students with non-secure attachment students. There was a negative relationship between emotional intelligence and homesickness, and students with secure attachment had a higher emotional intelligence. No association was observed between age and homesickness.
Conclusion: Attachment styles and emotional intelligence can affect the experience of homesickness in different ways.
