When young adults' positive relationships with their parents increased, feelings of inadequacy decreased and feelings of inadequay increased as negative relationships increased. As a result of the multiple regression analysis, it was observed that friendship quality scale subsize points together significantly exhausted the inadequaty sense scores of young adults. As a result of the multiple regression analysis, it was determined that the sub-dimension scores of family relations quality significantly exhausted the inadequacy sense scores of young adults together. While both the positive relationships they established with their fathers and the sense of acceptance they received from their friends were considered important in the feelings of inadequace of young adults, it was determined that the positive relationships established with the father were the strongest exhausting variables in the feelings of inadequacy of young adults.

Adolescent Attachment, Identity, and Adjustment to College: Implications for the Continuity of Adaptation Hypothesis

Journal of Counseling & Development, 1990

We examined the concurrent relationship between late adolescent attachment to parents and peers and two broad indices of adolescent adaptation—personal and social identity and adjustment to college. Participants included 130 college freshmen and 123 upperclassmen. Although freshmen were disadvantaged relative to upperclassmen with respect to social and personal‐emotional adjustment, there were no group differences on the attachment measures, on the measures of academic adjustment and goal commitment, and on the measure of social identity. Freshmen scored higher on personal identity than did upperclassmen. Women reported less alienation from peers, had more trust and better communication with peers, and had higher scores on personal and social idenitity than men. The attachment variables were significant predictors of personal and social identity. Pervasive relations were also found between attachment and adjustment to college, particularly for the upperclassmen sample.

The Associations between University Adjustment, Adult Attachment Styles, Personality Traits, and Perceived Stress

American international journal of social science, 2018

Transition to university is assumed to be closely related to individual variables such as; attachment, personality and stress perception patterns. This study examined how freshmen adjust university as a function of their attachment style, personality and stress perception patterns. The authors' aim was to investigate the relations between individual variables (personality, attachment style and perceived stress) and university adjustment success. A group of 277 freshmen from a University in İzmir completed the Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory, Perceived Stress Scale, Adaptation to University Life Inventory, Relationship Questionnaire, and Basic Personality Traits Inventory. Freshmen's attachment security was positively related to overall university adjustment, extraversion and openness to experience whereas negatively related to neuroticism, negative valence and stress perception. Stress perception, attachment anxiety and avoidance, extraversion and openness to experience were the significant predictors of university adjustment. Also, participants showed significant differences in attachment security, stress perception and university adjustment due to their demographic information. Research implications were discussed.

An investigation of social skills and loneliness levels of university students with respect to their attachment styles in a sample of Turkish students

2005

This study investigated the effects of attachment styles of university students on their social skills and loneliness levels. Their social skill levels, loneliness levels and attachment styles were measured by the Social Skills Inventory, UCLA Loneliness Scale, and Relationships Scale Questionnaire respectively. To analyze data. Mest. correlation analysis, and regression analysis were employed. Emotional expressivity levels, emotional sensitivity levels, social control levels, and total social skill levels of female students were found to be significantly higher than those of male students. However, emotional control levels of male students were significantly higher than those of female students. A significant effect of attachment styles on loneliness and social skills was detected. Social skill levels of students who have secure attachment styles were found to be significantly higher than social skills levels of students who have insecure attachment styles. Average loneliness points of students who do not have a romantic relationship were found to be significantly higher than others. However, the average social skill points of those students were found to be significantly lower than others. An individual's ability to have close relationships with others is one of the most important features of a healthy personality. Close relationships influence the personal and social development processes of individuals considerably. Although M. Engin Deniz.
