The main objective of the article is to examine the relationship between attachment style and self-efficacy beliefs of students with regard to sex. To this end, three hundred and sixty nine students were chosen by multi-stage cluster sampling, from different schools, and examined by Hazan and Shaver (1978) adult attachment styles test tools, and self-efficacy questionnaire of Sherer and colleagues (1982). The collected data were analyzed using two-way variance analysis. Results showed the effect of gender was not significant, but the effect of attachment styles is significant. Attachment styles explained 5.3% percent efficacy variance. Late results of the comparison showed that there are significant differences between self-efficacy of people with safe styles and self-efficacy of people with avoidant styles on one hand and self-efficacy of people with safe styles and self-efficacy of people with ambivalent style on the other hand. In addition, people with safe styles have more of self-efficacy than people with avoidant and ambivalent styles. The findings suggest that individuals with higher levels of self-efficacy are securely attached. According to the study, the interaction between gender and attachment style is not significant.
