Pet Loss: A Study on the Relationship Between Attachment Styles and Cognitive-Emotion Regulation Strategy Among Elderly Pet Owners in Quezon City
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 17, Issue 4
Abstract
The stronger the attachment to pets, the higher the separation pain felt after pet loss. The researchers conducted a study in Quezon City to investigate the relationship between attachment styles and cognitive emotion regulation strategies in elderly pet owners. The study aimed to provide valuable insights for pet and non-pet owners, potentially serving as a future basis for understanding attachment styles and cognitive-emotional regulation strategies. A mixed method was conducted to gather data on 37 elderly pet owners who have experienced pet loss. The analysis revealed that there is no significant relationship between attachment styles and cognitive-emotion regulation strategies among elderly pet owners in Quezon City. Attachment styles do not significantly influence the coping mechanisms of elderly pet owners, and cognitive emotion regulation strategies may operate independently. Aging can also affect cognitive functions and neurological processes, and societal, cultural, and resilience factors may also influence emotion regulation. Given that the study did not find a relationship between attachment styles and cognitive emotion regulation strategies, future researchers may consider exploring other factors that might influence these processes.
