Socio-psychological adaptation of schoolchildren with different attachment to mother

Abstract

The article reflects the results of an empirical study of the socio-psychological adaptation of 5th grade students with different attachment to their mother. It has been established that schoolgirls with secure attachment have a higher level of adaptation compared to girls with anxious-ambivalent and avoidant attachment types. It has been established that schoolboys with secure attachment have a higher level of adaptation compared to boys with avoidant attachment. Boys with anxiousambivalent attachment have a slightly higher level of adaptation compared to boys with avoidant attachment. The results of the study are of interest in the context of the work of a school psychologist in providing psychological assistance to middle-level students in the process of school adaptation, based on the approach of psychotherapy for attachment disorders.
