Abstract

Quality of life has become a broad-based construct used to evaluate various aspects of human well-being including the period of bereavement. Studies linking quality of life with the period of individuals’ bereavement are lacking. Therefore, this study investigates personality traits, resilience and perceived social support as predictors of quality of life among bereaved young adults in Ibadan. Ex-post facto design utilizing cross-sectional survey was used while purposive sampling technique was used to select the study location. Data were collected from 187 bereaved young adults using validated questionnaires and analyzed using multiple regression and independent samples t-test. Two hypotheses were tested and accepted at p <.05 level of significance. The result demonstrated that personality traits, resilience and perceived social support jointly predicted quality of life among study participants In addition extraversion agreeableness and perceived social support independently predicted quality of life among study participants. Furthermore, there was a gender difference in quality of life among study participants. The study concludes that interactions of personality traits, resilience and perceived social support are good predictors of quality of life among study participants. The study recommended design and implementation of psychological counseling, resilience training, and personality profiling to help bereaved individuals to improve quality of life.

Abstract

Social support contributes to attachment security over time. While studies have used different factors to predict attachment styles with varied results, there seem to be few studies using social support to predict attachment styles especially in the Nigerian settings. Therefore, this study examines the predictive role of social support on attachment styles among young adults. The study adopted cross-sectional survey using purposive sampling technique to select five communities in Port Harcourt metropolis in Rivers State, Nigeria. Data were collected from 277 using validated questionnaires and analyzed with simple linear regression to test one hypothesis that was accepted at p <.001 level of significance. The result demonstrated that social support significantly influenced attachment styles among young adults, F (1,276) = 21.34, p < .001. Moreover, the result indicated that social support independently predicted attachment styles among study participants (β = .421, t = 4.62, p < .001). The novelty of this study is that it the first time social support has been used to predict attachment styles among the study samples. The study recommends that young adults should actively build and maintain strong social support networks that would help them cope with challenges originating from poor attachment styles.
