Abstract
The current study was conducted to find the association between adult attachment trauma, social intelligence and psychopathological tendencies in young adults. A correlation research design was used to find the associations between the variables using a sample size of 300 participants with ages ranging from 18-25, from university students were selected. Purposive sampling technique was used for the data selection. The Experiences in close relationships- revised (ECRR), Tromso social intelligence scale (TSIS), and Brief symptom inventory (BSI) along with a demographics form was used for the measurement of the study variables. Correlation, Regression, and T-Test analysis were used to predict and to find the relationship between adult attachment trauma, social intelligence and psychopathological tendencies in young adults. Results showed that adult attachment trauma showed a strong relationship on increasing psychopathological tendencies while social intelligence did not show a significant relationship with psychopathological tendencies. The research will contribute to development of future social support systems and culturally responsive interventions aimed at promoting the well-being of young adults.
