College Student Success: The Interconnected Effects of Attachment and Parenting Styles

Department
Psychology
Abstract
Parenting style and attachment style have been shown to influence multiple aspects of a person’s life, including overall wellbeing and quality of life. Much of the research on parenting and attachment has focused on childhood and adolescent outcomes. However, there has been less attention given towards college students. Therefore, the present study will examine the correlates of parenting style and attachment in the college years. NEIU students will complete an online survey in which we measure their parental attachment and parenting style. We will also measure factors related to college student success, including their emotion regulation strategies, socioeconomic status, academic achievement, self-esteem, and resilience. Our analyses will examine the predictive relationships among attachment styles, parenting styles, and the college success variables. This research will help us better understand the struggles college students face and provide more knowledge on how these individuals can be better supported in this highly transformative and stressful period.
