Possible Effects of Parents with Avoidant Attachment on Parent-Child Relationships

Abstract

Many scientists who experience avoidant attachment in their studies of avoidant attachment focus on the child, and few articles go into the fact that this can lead to problems in the parent-child relationship, so the goal is the parent-child relationship, which is divided into the child's and parent's perspectives. By studying the experimental questionnaire administered by W. Steven Rholes to parents with avoidant attachment prenatally and postnatally, respectively, the results showed that they had low satisfaction with parenting and high levels of stress. It was also found through a study of the incidence of psychological disorders in offspring that the harm suffered by mothers at an early age can lead to avoidant attachment and severely affect their offspring, even to the point of developing anxiety disorders in adolescence.
