Hypothesis 7: Reported Secure Adult Attachment will account for greater
variance in measures of service to others than will measures of childhood
attachment. It was implied by the hypothesis that Secure Adult Attachment would be the best predictor in the equation of Horizontal Faith Maturity. This hypothesis was not supported. The equation explained only 5% of the variance and the overall effect of the equation was significant (F = 2.26; £. < .05).
