Abstract

Attachment styles are the foundation on which adult emotional health and interpersonal relationships are built. Studies linking childhood trauma and social support on attachment styles among young adults in Nigeria are lacking. Therefore, this study examines the predictive roles of childhood trauma and social support on attachment styles among young adults in Port Harcourt metropolis. Cross-sectional survey design was utilized while simple random sampling technique was used to select five communities in Port Harcourt metropolis. Data were collected from 278 participants using validated questionnaires and analyzed with multiple regression analysis to test one hypothesis accepted at p =.001 level of significance. The result indicates that childhood trauma and social support jointly predicted attachment styles among study participants, R2 = .274, F(2,275) = 27.50, p = 001. Furthermore, the results reveal that childhood trauma (β = .312, t = 3.59, p =.001) and social support (β = .281, t = 3.30, p =.001) independently predicted attachment styles among study participants. The study concludes that childhood trauma and social support are strong predictors of attachment styles among young adults in Port Harcourt metropolis. The study recommends that primary caregivers should provide a conducive social support system for young adults who have been traumatized to improve their adult relationship.

Abstract

Childhood trauma and social support are two critical constructs that significantly shape adult emotional health and interpersonal relationships. While studies have used different predictors to examine relationship satisfaction among different populations and samples, one group that has been understudy especially in the Nigerian setting is the young adults. Therefore, this study examines the predictive roles of childhood trauma and social support on relationship satisfaction among young adults in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. The study adopted cross-sectional survey design while purposive sampling technique was used to select youth samples from five communities. Data were conveniently collected from 278 participants using validated questionnaires and analyzed using multiple regression to test one hypothesis which was accepted at p = .001 level of significance. The result revealed that childhood trauma and social support jointly predicted relationship satisfaction among study participants, R2 = .248, F (2,275) = 31.56, p=.001. Furthermore, the result indicated childhood trauma (β = .243, t = 2.74, p = .007) and social support (β = .328, t = 3.73, p =.001) independently predicted relationship satisfaction among study participants. The study concludes that childhood trauma and social support are robust predictors of relationship satisfaction among young adults in the Port Harcourt metropolis. The study recommends that parents should foster nurturing and supportive environments and actively build and maintain strong social support networks that would help them cope with challenges and enhance their relationship satisfaction.
