Abstract

Statement of the problem: Attachment has a strong relationship with happiness, psychological well-being and resilience. Attachment is applied to a sustained emotional bond between an evolving child and someone who has the duty to take care of him/her. This bond is formed when a warm, intimate and stable relationship is established between the child and mother for both of whom it is satisfactory and gratifying. In the early days of life, children internalize the availability and support of their caregivers. Children gradually form “internal working models”. Children’s expectation of availability, reliability and ability to provide safety and comfort on the part of parents is the main theme of internal working patterns. The aim of the present study was to the effectiveness of an attachment-based intervention program in improving the happiness, resilience and psychological well-being of adolescent girls. Methodology & theoretical orientation: The study used a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group design. The research population for this study comprised all the mothers and their adolescent daughters in Tehran, Iran. 45 eligible mothers who volunteered to participate in the research along with their daughters were chosen and randomly assigned into two experimental and waiting-list control groups. Attachment-based training package was implemented for mothers in the experimental group during ‎8 weekly sessions of 90 to 120 ‎minutes each. ‎ Adolescents participating in this study completed Resilience Scale, Happiness Questionnaire and Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire in the pretest and posttest
