Background and Purpose: Loneliness is an unpleasant state that results from differences in the interpersonal relationships desired by individuals and affects the quality of their life. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between parental conflict resolution strategies and attachment styles and quality of life among adolescent girls with loneliness feeling.
Method: It is a descriptive correlational research. The population consisted of all female 13 to 15 year old students in Rasht in the academic year of 2015-2016. A sample of 120 female students with loneliness was selected through cluster sampling method. World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (1989), Loneliness Questionnaire (Asher et al., 1984), Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scale (Straus, 1990), and Adult Attachment Scale (Hazen & Shaver, 1987) were used to collect data. Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and Multiple Regression Analysis.
Results: There was a significant positive relationship between parent's reasoning and quality of life (p<0.01), a significant negative relationship between mother's physical aggression and the quality of life of the girls (p<0.01), and a significant negative relationship between insecure attachment style and quality of life of girls with loneliness feelings (p<0.05). Multiple regression results showed that parental conflict resolution strategies and attachment styles can predict the quality of life and loneliness feeling of girls 31% (p<0.01) and 19%, respectively.
Conclusion: Based on the finding of the present research, it can be concluded parental conflict resolution strategies and children attachment styles play role in the quality of life of girls with loneliness. Therefore, to enhance the students' quality of life and to improve parent-child relationships, it is necessary to teach them the correct conversation practices, conflict resolution strategies, and identify appropriate attachment styles. |
