On The Psychological Function of Noctcaelador: Relationships with Secure Attachment Across Levels of Well-being

Author(s) William E. Kelly, Don Daughtry
Country United States
Abstract Previous research found inconsistent results regarding individuals’ relationship with the night sky and well-being. One possible explanation for these discrepancies is a proposal that meaning and functions of noctcaelador – a significant personal bond with the night sky – varies across levels of well-being. To explore this, 157 adults completed measures of noctcaelador, comfort and emotional relief associated with the night sky (night sky comfort), secure attachment, and well-being. Moderated mediation analysis indicated the association between noctcaelador and secure attachment varied by level of well-being, as did the indirect relationship between night sky comfort and secure attachment through noctcaelador. Among individuals lower in well-being, night sky comfort was indirectly associated with secure attachment through noctcaelador. This indirect pathway was not observed among individuals at moderate or high levels of well-being. These findings suggest that noctcaelador may represent a common psychological bond with the night sky whose function differs according to psychological adjustment, serving perhaps more regulatory or attachment-related roles among individuals lower in well-being.
