Given the dynamic academic challenges in college that impact self-regulation and academic motivation, this study investigates the relationships between attachment styles, interpersonal expressions (including the subcategories), and self-management of academic scholars. Moreover, the level of subscales of attachment styles and interpersonal adjustment expressions have been measured and explored.
By means of descriptive-correlational research design, data were gathered from 248 randomly sampled 1st year 4th year academic scholars of University of Cebu - Banilad of the school year 2023-2024. Utilized instruments are three research-made questionnaires that sought to measure attachment styles, interpersonal adjustment expressions and its sub-types, as well as the level of self-management of the respondents.
From the analyzed data, a grand mean of 2.64 was derived for attachment styles, signifying an overall low-level of the three attachment styles explored. In terms of secure attachment style, the respondents scored a mean of 2.84, implying an average level of manifestation. Insecure attachment style, and avoidant attachment style, meanwhile, both garnered a low level of indication from the academic scholars, with 2.48 mean from the former, and 2.60 mean from the latter. The level of interpersonal adjustment expression of the academic scholars was quantified by the grand mean of 3.11, constituting an average level of demonstration. Its three subscales also all derived an average level of interpretation, with a mean of 3.03 for compliant interpersonal adjustment expression, 3.09 for aggressive interpersonal adjustment expression, and 3.02 for detached interpersonal adjustment expression. Moreover, results revealed a weak positive correlation between respondents' attachment style and self-management (Pearson 0.1439) which was greater than the critical value of 0.1160 and can be interpreted as weak/slight correlation. Thus, the hypothesis that there is no relationship between attachment style and self-management is rejected. In the same line of results, a weak positive correlation was also derived between respondents' interpersonal adjustment expression and self-management (Pearson r value 0.1625). However, these results are described to be statistically significant based on the Pearson r value (0.1625) exceeding the critical value (0.1160). Hence, it suggests that while attachment styles and interpersonal adjustment expressions correlate with self-management, their influence is weak, suggesting they are partial contributors, not sole determinants. The results established from this research undertaking have been grounds to the integration of a proposed enhancement program that sought to enhance the practice of self-management through fostering a deeper understanding and instilling salient practices of attachment styles, and interpersonal adjustment expression of the academic scholars.
