Background & Aims: Adolescence is a period of a person's life, accompanied by pressure, crisis, and numerous physical and mental changes, which are associated with problems. There is also a lot of psychological, social, and communication involved. Romantic relationships are very common in youth and nearly 65% ​​of teenagers experience it. Close relationships between people, especially the phenomenon of love between two opposite sexes, have a significant impact on various aspects of human life, especially psychological aspects. On the other hand, emotional failure is one of the most severe shocks that occur to people, especially during adolescence and youth. It seems that the severity of this emotional failure is more evident in adolescence because adolescence is accompanied by early emotions. It is transitory and unstable and far from thinking about the future, and it is associated with interest in the opposite sex that in this period of life, people allow themselves to enter into the realm of each other's emotional feelings. The results of some studies indicate that our friendships between two opposite sexes give them the opportunity to empathize and express intimacy and lead to the mutual trust of both parties in the relationship. Love shock has harmful effects on people and causes personal, social, and sometimes family conflicts and dissociations, as well as psychological reactions in the victims. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to compare attachment styles and parenting styles of teenagers with and without love trauma syndromes.
Methods: The method of the current research was a causal comparison (post-event). The statistical population of the present study was made up of 120 female students of the second secondary level and their mothers in Saveh city, of which 60 were girls without emotional breakdown and 60 were girls with symptoms of emotional breakdown in Saveh city in the academic year of 1402-1401 using the method Multi-stage cluster random sampling was chosen. To collect data, the attachment styles questionnaire of Collins and Reed (1990), Ross's Love Shock (1999), and Baumrind's Parenting (1973) were used. In this research, to compare the scores of each group at different levels, multivariate analysis of variance and SPSS software version 22 was used.
Results: There is a significant difference in the secure attachment component between the two groups with and without love trauma symptoms (F=5.076 (1.118) and P<0.01). In this way, the secure attachment score of people with love shock syndrome is significantly higher than the group of teenagers without love shock syndrome. The group variable explains 1% of the variance of secure attachment. There is a significant difference between the two groups with and without love trauma symptoms in the ambivalent attachment component (F (1.118) = 4.016 and P < 0.01). In this way, the ambivalent attachment score of people in teenagers with love shock syndrome is significantly higher than the group of teenagers without love shock syndrome. The group variable explains 1% of the variance of ambivalent attachment. There is a significant difference between the two groups with and without love trauma symptoms in the avoidant attachment component (F (1.118) = 4.058 and P < 0.01). In this way, the avoidant attachment score of people with love shock syndrome is significantly higher than the group of teenagers without love shock syndrome. The group variable explains 1% of the variance of avoidant attachment. The results of data analysis with the statistical model of multifactor analysis of variance showed that there is a significant difference between the two groups with and without love trauma syndrome in the components of secure attachment, ambivalent attachment, and avoidant attachment. Also, there is a significant difference between the two groups with and without love trauma syndromes in the components of permissive parenting, autocratic parenting, and assertive parenting.
Conclusion: The purpose of this study was to compare attachment styles and parenting styles of teenagers with and without love trauma syndrome. The results of the present study showed that between two groups with and without love trauma syndromes, in the components of secure attachment, biased and avoidant, as well as between two groups with and without love trauma syndromes, in the components of easy parenting styles. There is a significant difference between obsessive, authoritarian, and decisive. This review generally emphasizes the importance of attachment styles and parenting methods in romantic relationships in adolescence, which requires clinical attention. It seems that the patterns and incorrect behaviors of parents that lead to the formation of adverse experiences with parents (primary caregivers) are stored under the title of internal functioning models, which can affect a person's cognition. His beliefs and convictions are effective towards himself and others and ultimately act as a barrier against an important mechanism for regulating the emotions, emotions, and distress of a person. Because parents can influence people's attitudes about interpersonal relationships and their expectations of relationships by providing a positive or negative model. A person with secure attachment and strong communication skills expresses his emotions and needs correctly. In addition, attachment can be considered the fundamental element of human evolution, as a result of this process, an emotional bond is created in the relationship between mother and baby. People with a secure attachment style are independent, friendly, and warm and have an active spirit to seek participation. People with a secure attachment style feel happy, friendly, and self-confident in their close relationships and have high self-esteem. Secure attachment creates a willingness to appreciate, care for, and sacrifice the people who are important in one's life. They must respond to these feelings as well. Therefore, they do not fail in their relationships. According to the research, we found that teenagers with secure attachment styles experience less love and emotional trauma, and there is a significant difference between secure attachment styles in teenagers with and without love trauma symptoms.
