Estilos parentales y apego en estudiantes universitarios

Abstract

Introduction: Parental neglect has been a representation of abuse that has been increasing and that in turn has brought serious consequences on those who have experienced it, projecting into adulthood difficulties in relating to others, externalizing emotions and showing affection or vulnerability. Objective: Determine the relationship between the subscales of parenting styles and attachment dimensions of university students. Methods: A non-experimental quantitative cross-sectional study with a descriptive-correlational design was carried out with a non-probabilistic sample of 389 university students. Results: The results revealed a moderate positive correlation between the security dimension and the affect and dialogue subscales. Likewise, it was found that in university students the predominant type of attachment is the preoccupied one and the predominant parental style is the authoritative one. Conclusions: The participants perceive that the more affection and dialogue there is on the part of their parents, the more secure their interpersonal relationships will be. Likewise, the majority identify a parenting style balanced between obligations and rights, as well as a concerned bond in their interaction with their peers, characterized by the desire for closeness and at the same time independence
