Romantic Attachment In Young Adults Raised By Single Vs Two Parents

Abstract

This Research Examines How Family Structure—specifically, Whether A Young Adult Grew Up In A Single-parent Or Two-parent Household—affects The Way They Form Romantic Attachments. Using The Experiences In Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R) Scale And The Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI), Data Were Collected From A Targeted Group Of 200 Young Adults. The Study Looks Into Whether Early Caregiving Experiences Are Connected To How Adults Feel About Trust And Intimacy In Relationships. The Findings Show A Weak, Non-significant Link (r = 0.066, P = 0.354) Between How Parents Bonded With Their Children And The Romantic Attachment Styles Of Adults. Additionally, No Significant Differences Were Found In Attachment Scores Based Solely On Family Structure.
