Description
This study investigated the features of attachment in father-daughter relationships and their association with depressive symptoms in daughters during emerging adulthood. Drawing on attachment theory, 116 daughters from an existing data set who completed the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA) and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD) was used to examine whether father-daughter trust, communication and alienation predict depressive symptoms in daughters. Data were analyzed using correlation and multiple linear regression. Findings indicated that alienation significantly predicted depressive symptoms negatively while trust and communication did not support the proposed hypotheses, they did not significantly predict depressive symptoms.
