Imagined Intimacy: The Link Between Attachment Styles and Parasocial Relationship of Senior High School Students
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 01
Abstract
This present study was designed to investigate how different attachment styles influence individuals' susceptibility to parasocial experiences, focusing on senior high school students through questionnaires assessing secure, fearful, preoccupied, and dismissing attachment styles. 300 senior high school students, 11 and 12, participated in this study from the University in the Mindanao Region of the Philippines. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test showed that the data were normally distributed (D =.035, p-value =.200). The levels of both variables were described using means and standard deviations. The study found low levels of Secure Attachment Style among students (X=2.23, SD=.337), indicating difficulties in emotional connections. A high level of Fearful Attachment Style was linked to anxiety and avoidance (X=3.56, SD= .419), while Preoccupied Attachment Style (X=3.86, SD=.389), and a high level of Dismissing Attachment Style (X=3.70, SD=.409). High levels of parasocial relationships were noted (X=3.54, SD= .51). Parasocial relationships and Secure Attachment Style had a weakly negative link (r = -.143, p =.013). Conversely, there were extremely minor positive connections between dismissing attachment styles (r =.095, p =.002) and preoccupied attachment styles (r =.002, p = 0.023). There was no significant link with Fearful Attachment Style (r = -0.025, p = 0.661). All things considered, our results point to a somewhat favourable correlation between parasocial relationships and attachment type (r = 0.494, p = 0.05). According to linear regression, Secure Attachment Styles have a negative correlation (B = -.189, p =.009) with parasocial connections, while Dismissing Attachment Styles have a positive correlation (B =.117, p =.004).
