The aim of present study was predicting resilience from attachment styles and cognitive emotion regulation of women who have experienced bereavement. The research method was of correlational type and its statistical population was women who experienced the bereavement of their spouse in Tehran in 1400. The research samples included 200 women with the experience of bereavement, who were selected by available sampling method, and filled the Collins and Reed Attachment Styles Questionnaire (RAAS), the Gratz and Roemer Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) and Connor and Davidson Resilience scale (CD- RISD). Pearson's correlation method and simultaneous multiple regression analysis were used to calculate the results. The results indicated that there is a significant negative relationship between avoidant attachment style, ambivalent style and difficulty in emotional regulation with resilience. Also, there was a significant positive relationship between secure attachment style and resilience (p<0.01). The results of simultaneous regression to predict resilience based on ambivalent and avoidant attachment style showed that ambivalent and avoidant attachment style have the power to predict resilience negatively (p<0.01). Therefore, secure attachment style can predict greater resilience in women who have experienced spousal bereavement.
