Comparative Study of Attachment Style, Coping Strategies and Psychological Resilience among Children of Armed Force and Civilians

Abstract

This dissertation investigates the comparative study of attachment style, coping strategies, and psychological resilience among children of armed forces personnel and civilian families. Drawing upon attachment theory and resilience research, the study examines how familial contexts influence children’s socio-emotional development and adaptive responses to stressors. Through a comprehensive review of literature and empirical analysis, the study aims to elucidate the nuanced interplay between attachment dynamics, coping mechanisms, and resilience outcomes in these two populations. Key findings highlight differences in attachment style variation, coping strategies, and protective factors that contribute to resilience across familial contexts. The study underscores the importance of tailored interventions and support services to promote positive outcomes for children in diverse socio-cultural settings.
