Exploring the Relationship between Resilience (Personal Strength), Emotional Stability, Emotional Self-Control, Attachment, and Personal Fear of COVID-19

Abstract

The research examines correlational and predictive relationships between resilience (personal strength), emotional stability, strategies of emotional self-regulation, the style of attachment, and personal fear of Covid-19. At this study took part 130 adults (91 women and 39 men), the average age being 39 years old. The results indicated statistically significant medium and high levels of correlation among most of the analysed variables, the greatest correlation being obtained between emotional stability and emotional regulation strategies. Another significant result is the predictive relationship between emotional stability, attachment style and self-perception (subdimension of personal strength), which in turn proved to be a predictor for personal fear of Covid-19.
