Abstract/Summary

The relationship between emotional autonomy and psychosocial adjustment (self-esteem, attachment to parents and peers) among 207 Filipino college students from universities in Manila and Las Pinas (114 men and 93 women) was explored. These adolescents emotional autonomy, self-esteem and interpersonal relationships (parents and peers) were measured. The study used a correlational-regression design to explore relationships between the variables. Results revealed that the cognitive component of emotional autonomy has a significant negative relationship with self-esteem, attachment to parents and attachment to peers. In the affective component, results revealed that it has a significant negative relationship with self-esteem and attachment to parents. Regression analysis also reveals that emotional autonomy is a good predictor of self-esteem and attachment to parents along with its subscales (trust, communication and alienation).
