Abstract:
|
This study examined the interaction between attachment, emotional intelligence, and body image among college students. Participants completed a questionnaire packet and a demographic form. There were 310 participants. Results revealed that a positive view of self had a greater effect on the ability to repair emotions among females, and a positive view of others had a greater effect on self evaluation among males. Results of a follow-up analysis using the four attachment prototypes (i.e., secure, preoccupied, dismissive, and fearful) showed that secure (positive self/others) and dismissive (positive self/negative others) females and preoccupied (negative self/positive other) males reported greater perceived ability to repair emotions. The study suggests that view of self may have a greater influence among females and view of others may have a greater influence among males. |
