| Sumario: | This study employs a descriptive correlational design to investigate the association between dimensions of adolescent attachment to parents and emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Self-report measures were utilized to gather data. The Inventory of Parental Attachment (IPPA) was administered, comprising 50 statements that assessed attachment to both mother and father separately. Additionally, the Mental Health Continuum Short Form (MHC-SF) was employed, consisting of 14 items representing the overall well-being of adolescents and encompassing three dimensions: emotional, psychological, and social well-being. The sample for this study comprised 499 participants aged between 15 and 18 years, selected from first, second, and some third-year high school students. The distribution of participants’ ages was as follows: 11.6% were 15 years old, 34.8% were 16 years old, 33.9% were 17 years old, and 19.7% were 18 years old. This study explored the relationship between dimensions of adolescent attachment to parents and emotional, psychological, and social well-being. The findings highlight the significance of trust and communication with both the mother and father in promoting positive mental health outcomes among adolescents. Specifically, trust in the mother was found to have a substantial impact on mental health, increasing it by 20.3%. Similarly, communication with both the mother and father positively influenced mental health, with an 8.4% increase attributed to communication with the mother and a notable 26.1% increase associated with communication with the father |
