The aim of this study is to examine the relationships between the psychological birth order, attachment styles and family resilience levels of married women. Attachment styles, which are shaped in early childhood and are thought to continue throughout life, affect the way of establishing relationships. Psychological birth order is the determinant of an individual’s relationships in adult life. The family established by the marriage relationship is considered as the basic building block of the society and the existence of indomitable families is important in order to survive the current process in a healthy way. Although it is observed that the concepts of psychological birth order, attachment styles and family resilience are studied separately in the literature, it has been observed that the relationship of these variables, especially in married individuals, has not been examined in the surveys. It is thought that this research will contribute to the related field. The research, in which the relational screening model was used, was carried out on 505 married women.

Pearson Product-Moment Correlation and Hierarchical Regression Analysis were used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the research; It was revealed that married women with secure attachment style predicted family resilience significantly and positively (β = .40, p <.01), while anxious attachment style predicted family resilience significantly and negatively (β = -.12, p <.01). . According to the research findings; being the median child of women, family resilience significantly and negatively (β = -.11, p <.01).
