Abstract

Emotional abuse is a type of abuse that often occurs but is still little studied. Emotional abuse affects the type of attachment and coping that is used by individuals to solve and deal with problems. This study aims to determine the relationship between attachment and coping in adults who experience emotional abuse. The correlational method which is a quantitative type of research with adult samples aged 18-40 years, experiencing emotional abuse, domiciled in Banda Aceh, and the incidental sampling sampling technique (n=77) was used in this study. Attachment was measured using the Relationship Style Questionnaire (RSQ) and coping was measured using the Brief COPE. Data analysis using The Pearson correlation technique showed there was a relationship between attachment and coping (r = 0.47, p <0.05) in adults who experienced emotional abuse. The results showed that the majority of subjects at 76.6% in this study had insecure attachment and had an adaptive type of coping. On another hand, there are subjects with secure attachment but had a type of maladaptive coping as much as 44.6%. Furthermore, the results of the study also discussed the correlation of each type of attachment with coping in details.
