“…Hasil penelitian Robinson, 2007 (Margaretha, Nuringtyas, Rachin, 2013), menunjukan bahwa kebanyakan anak-anak dari korban kekerasan dalam rumah tangga baik secara langsung maupun tidak akan menjadi orang-orang dewasa yang rentan terhadap depresi dan menunjukkan gejala-gejala traumatis, hingga akhirnya beresiko tinggi menjadi pelaku KDRT atau relasi intim yang mereka jalin ketika dewasa. Hasil penelitian (Simamora, dkk, 2022) mengungkapkan bahwa pertengkaran tidak berujung secara verbal maupun fisik (KDRT) yang sering terjadi sangat berdampak pada anak,dari segi perilaku, bahwa anak memiliki resiko untuk tumbuh dengan perilaku tidak wajar yang ia lampiaskan karena perilaku yang tidak sepatutnya ia dapatkan di dalam rumah, seperti sering berbohong,mencuri, berkelahi, aksi bullying di lingkungan sekolah karena pola interaksi sosial anak yang buruk Hasil penelitian Simamora, dkk, (2022) menyatakan bahwa trauma emosional dan psikologis yang didapat merupakan dampak dari rasa takut dan cemas yang tinggi saat berada di rumah, kemungkinan besar anak-anak yang menjadi saksi atau bahkan korban Rasa takut akan keintiman didefinisikan oleh (Sobral & Costa, 2015) yang merupakan keterbatasan kemampuan individu untuk bertukar pikiran, perasaan pribadi, dan kebergantungan kepada orang lain yang dihargai karena kecemasan.

“…Fear of intimacy has been explored mainly from the lens of attachment theory, postulating that people with avoidant attachment feel the need to avoid forming intimate relationships as a defense or reaction against possible abandonment or rejection (Bowlby, 1988). Empirical evidence suggests that dismissing or avoidant attachment styles are associated with fear of intimacy (e.g., Obeid et al, 2019; Sobral et al, 2015). IPARTheory researchers agree with that postulate but they do not explain it in terms of attachment style.…”

Interpersonal acceptance‐rejection theory (IPARTheory) asserts that recollections of parental rejection in childhood tend to result in psychological maladjustment and intimacy problems in later romantic relationships. Informed by IPARTheory, we investigated the association between maternal & paternal rejection, and fear of intimacy by the mediating role of psychological maladjustment in a Turkish sample with 462 mostly young adults. We further explored the moderator role of gender in Model 1 and the moderating roles of both gender and intimate partner rejection in Model 2. Model 1 revealed that adults who had experienced maternal and paternal rejection in childhood tended to be psychologically maladjusted. Consequently, they also tended to have a fear of intimacy, regardless of gender. Model 2 revealed that women who recall having been rejected in childhood by their mothers tended to be psychologically maladjusted and to have a significant fear of intimacy when they also experienced moderate or more than moderate intimate‐partner rejection. However, both women and men who experienced paternal rejection in childhood tended to be psychologically maladjusted and to experience a greater fear of intimacy when they perceived any degree of intimate partner rejection. Implications of the results for theory, research, and practice are discussed.

“…A significant factor that appears to stand as an obstacle to the formation of romantic relationships is fear of intimacy, a multidimensional phenomenon that deeply affects the quality of close relationships (Sobral et al, 2015). Fear of intimacy refers to “the inhibited capacity of an individual to exchange thoughts and feelings of personal significance with another individual who is highly valued” (Descutner & Thelen, 1991, p. 219).…”

Abstract. Background: This research examined fear of intimacy during emerging adulthood. We attempted to determine whether rejection sensitivity has any effect on fear of intimacy through the mediational effect of interpersonal anxiety. We also assumed that remembered parental acceptance can have a buffering effect on the above relationships. Methods: The sample was composed of 679 (280 male and 399 female) university students. Data collection was accomplished through the use of self-report questionnaires, which measured rejection sensitivity, fear of intimacy, interpersonal anxiety, and remembered parental acceptance. Analyses of mediation and moderation effects variables were conducted through the use of the PROCESS statistical software. Results: Analysis showed that there is a partial meditational effect of interpersonal anxiety on the relationship of rejection sensitivity to fear of intimacy. Further, remembered maternal acceptance had a protective effect on the development of fear of intimacy in young women who are sensitive to rejection and have high interpersonal anxiety. Discussion: Rejection sensitivity seems to have an effect on the development of fear of intimacy through increasing interpersonal anxiety, especially in females. These relationships seem to be moderated by maternal acceptance. Conclusion: Student counselling would be beneficial to help students in this transitional period become aware of anxious interpersonal patterns and regulate their reactivity when facing perceived rejection cues in their interpersonal relationships.
