“…Given the negative correlation we found between avoidant attachment and problem- and emotion-focused coping, we infer that individuals with avoidant attachment might have difficulty using adaptive/active coping strategies. Furthermore, the deactivating strategies, typical of avoidant attachment, might not be workable following a severe traumatic loss (Mikulincer, Dolev, & Shaver, 2004; Mikulincer, Shaver, & Pereg, 2003). Thus, inefficient coping related to avoidant attachment could lead to complicated grief.…”

“…The theoretical and empirical literature suggests that hyperactivating strategies are characteristic of anxious attachment, and deactivating strategies are common with avoidant attachment (Malik, Wells, & Wittkowski, 2015; Mikulincer et al, 2003). In a broad outline, our present results for the two types of active coping are in line with the theory that anxiously attached persons seem to hyperactively cope, and avoidantly attached individuals seem to deactively cope.…”

Background: Previous studies on the influence of different types of attachment on grief responses have yielded contradictory outcomes. Little research has been conducted to identify the psychological processes that moderate the relationship between attachment representations and patterns of grief in disaster-related grief. Objective: The present study examines the effects of different attachment types on the grief responses of parents bereaved by loss of a child in a ferry accident, along with the moderating role of coping strategies. Methods: Bereaved parents (n = 81) completed self-report questionnaires evaluating attachment, coping strategies, complicated grief, and shame/guilt. We performed correlational analyses to examine the associations among variables. We also conducted hierarchical regression analyses and simple slope analyses to examine the moderation effects of coping strategies. Results: Anxious attachment was associated with severe shame/guilt, and avoidant attachment correlated with complicated grief. Anxious attachment was positively associated with all types of coping strategies, and avoidant attachment was negatively related to problem- and emotion-focused coping. The use of problem-focused coping strategies was a significant moderator of the relationship between the avoidant attachment dimension and shame/guilt. Avoidant attachment had a significant effect on shame/guilt in groups with a high level of problem-focused coping. In contrast, none of the coping strategies significantly moderated the relationship between anxious attachment and grief response. Conclusions: The results suggest that people with highly avoidant attachment might be overwhelmed by shame and guilt when they try to use problem-focused coping strategies. This finding suggests that grief interventions should be organized with consideration of individual differences in attachment representations.

E-mail: moguzman@ucn.cl Estilos de Apego y Dificultades de Regulación Emocional en Estudiantes Universitarios Attachment Styles and Emotional Regulation Difficulties Among University StudentsMónica Guzmán-González, Natalia Carrasco, Paulina Figueroa, Caterina Trabucco y Daniela Vilca Universidad Católica del NorteEl objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la relación entre los estilos de apego y las dificultades en la regulación emocional (DRE) en una muestra intencionada de 548 estudiantes universitarios de 4 universidades de Antofagasta, Chile. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el cuestionario de Experiencias en Relaciones Cercanas (ECR-E) y la Escala de Dificultades en la Regulación Emocional (DERS-E). Mediante un análisis multivariado de la varianza y contrastes post hoc se desprende que existen diferencias en las DRE en función de los estilos de apego. Específicamente, quienes poseen estilos de apego seguro presentaron niveles más bajos de confusión emocional que quienes poseen estilos inseguros; asimismo, evidenciaron menores niveles de descontrol, rechazo emocional e interferencia cotidiana que quienes poseen patrones preocupados y temerosos; sin embargo, no difirieron en estas dificultades de quienes poseen apego desentendido. Además, los mayores niveles de desatención y confusión emocional se detectaron en los individuos con apego desentendido y temeroso. Finalmente, quienes poseen estilos de apego preocupado y temeroso evidenciaron mayor rechazo emocional e interferencia cotidiana. Se discuten las implicancias de explicar las DRE desde el marco de la teoría del apego. Palabras clave: estilos de apego, regulación emocional, estudiantes universitarios, ChileThe aim of this study was to evaluate the association between attachment styles and emotion regulation difficulties in a purposive sample of 548 undergraduate students attending 4 universities in Antofagasta, Chile. The instruments used were the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale (ECR-E) and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS-E). The results of multivariate analysis of variance and post hoc contrasts reveal statistically significant differences in emotion regulation difficulties according to attachment styles. Specifically, subjects with secure attachment styles had lower levels of confusion than those with insecure styles; moreover, they manifested lower levels of lack of control, emotional rejection, and daily interference than individuals with preoccupied and fearful styles; however, they did not differ from those with dismissive styles. In addition, the highest levels of lack of emotional awareness and emotional confusion were detected among individuals with dismissive and fearful attachment styles. ...

“…En las últimas dos décadas, la teoría del apego (Bowlby, 1969(Bowlby, , 1973(Bowlby, , 1980 se ha situado como uno de los marcos conceptuales más relevantes a la hora de comprender el proceso de regulación afectiva de las relaciones (Duemmeler & Kobak, 2001;Mikulincer, Shaver, & Pereg, 2003). Esta teoría se refiere al lazo que desarrolla el infante hacia el cuidador primario, usualmente la madre, y a las consecuencias que este vínculo conlleva en la formación de su autoconcepto y en el desarrollo de su percepción sobre su universo social (Collins & Read, 1990;Yárnoz, Alonoso-Arbiol, Plazaola & Sainz, 2001).…”

RESUMENINTRODUCCIÓN: Diversos estudios resaltan la importancia de las relaciones de pareja en el desarrollo psicosocial y la salud física y emocional de las personas. Adicionalmente, se ha encontrado que los tipos de apego tienen una capacidad predictiva sobre la calidad percibida de las relaciones de pareja. Sin embargo, la información que se tiene al respecto para la población adulta joven es limitada. OBJETIVO: evaluar la correlación entre los estilos de apego y diferentes componentes de las relaciones de pareja en una población adulta joven. INSTRUMENTOS: Los participantes respondieron al cuestionario Experience in Close Relationships (32 ítems) y al Perceived Relationship Quality Components (18 ítems). MÉTODO: La muestra estuvo compuesta por 119 estudiantes universitarios dominicanos de ambos sexos y edades entre 18 y 26 años (M = 20.03; DT = 1.95). RESULTADOS: se encontró un patrón de correlacional distinto para los tipos de apego, teniéndose que el Apego Ansioso no correlacionó con la mayoría de los componentes de calidad percibida, mientras que para el apego evitativo las correlaciones fueron negativas y altas con las escalas de Satisfacción, Compromiso, Intimidad, Amor y Calidad General. Adicionalmente, los hombres tuvieron medias significativamente más altas de Apego Evitativo. CONCLUSIONES: Los hallazgos ilustran la importancia de los estilos de apego, en particular del Apego Evitativo, respecto a la calidad de las relaciones de pareja en la adultez temprana. PALABRAS CLAVE:Apego evitativo, apego ansioso, relación de pareja, calidad percibida. ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION:Many studies highlight the importance of relationships during people's psychological development as well as their physical and emotional health. These studies also show that the types of attachment have a predictable capacity regarding the perceived quality in relationships. However, few have been said about the topic in young adult population. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the correlation between attachment styles and different components of relationships in young adult population. METHOD: The sample was composed of 119 Dominican university students whose ages ranged between 18 and 26 (M = 20.03; DT = 1.95). RESULTS: There is a different correlational pattern for type of attachment. Anxious-Ambivalent Attachment did not correlate with most components of perceived quality; whereas Anxious-Avoidant Attachment correlated negatively and high in the scales of satisfaction, commitment, intimacy, love, and general quality. Additionally, men registered meaningfully higher means of Anxious-Avoidant Attachment. CONCLUSIONS: These findings illustrate the importance of the styles of attachment, specially the Anxious-Avoidant Attachment regarding the quality of relationships in young adults.
