Hubungan Perceived Parental Conflict dengan Insecure Romantic Attachment pada Perempuan Dewasa Awal

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between perceived interparental conflict and insecure romantic attachment among emerging adult women. A cross-sectional correlational design was used, involving 100 emerging adult women selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Children’s Perception of Interparental Conflict Scale (CPIC; α = .848) and the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R; α = .935), both of which demonstrated good internal consistency. Because the data were not normally distributed, the relationship between variables was analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation. The results showed a significant positive association between perceived interparental conflict and insecure romantic attachment (ρ = .607, p < .001), indicating that higher perceived interparental conflict is associated with a greater tendency toward insecure romantic attachment. These findings are consistent with Attachment Theory and Emotional Security Theory, which posit that family-of-origin conflict experiences are linked to later interpersonal relationship patterns. Given the cross-sectional design, these findings should be interpreted as associational rather than causal. This study offers practical implications for psychological and counseling services, suggesting that family-of-origin experiences be considered as one contextual factor in understanding romantic relationship dynamics among emerging adult women.
