This study investigated the intensity of DSM‐III–R and ICD‐10 personality disorder features among females experiencing self‐reported homesickness. Three groups were compared: ( a ) a group of women experiencing chronic feelings of homesickness (CHS); ( b ) a group of women experiencing episodic attacks of homesickness, each time they go on holidays (EHS); and ( c ) a group of healthy control females, recruited from the general population (HC). This study aimed to investigate whether the homesick participants showed stronger features of personality pathology than the controls and whether those who report experiencing chronic feelings of homesickness showed stronger features of personality pathology than those who at the moment of testing were not in an actual state of homesickness. Glass effect sizes revealed that the DSM‐III–R avoidant and dependent and the ICD‐10 anxious and dependent traits were most strongly associated with either type of homesickness. Finally, CHS was particularly associated with passive–aggressive traits and EHS with sadistic traits. Based on the stories of 21 homesick women, a link between adverse attachment experiences in childhood and certain personality features on the one hand and homesickness on the other is tentatively suggested
