ABSTRACT

In the study of Life span approach the concept of Parental and Peer Attachment has time and again been found as significant and relevant to be discussed in case of adolescents. Thus, the present study aimed to examine the impact of Maternal, Paternal & Peer Attachment separately on different domains of coping of young adolescents. The sample of the study consisted of 100 young adolescent volunteers (i.e.50 boys and 50 girls) with age ranging from 13-14 years. To carry out the study the adolescents completed Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA) and Coping Checklist. Results indicated that adolescents who showed high maternal and paternal and peer attachment used more problem- focused coping and social- support coping and less emotion- focused coping than their low attachment counterparts.
