The focus of this dissertation revolved around the phenomenon of friendship, specifically amongst adolescents. Friendship is a universal phenomenon, that occurs in every race, culture and religion. Within friendship there are some universal aspects that were investigated. The research attempted to understand the phenomenon of friendship amongst the developmental phase of the adolescent. Furthermore, the effect of friendship on the adolescent’s general psychological functioning had been investigated. The research came to the conclusion that friendship does have a positive influence on an adolescent’s general psychological functioning but that some psychological factors, such as communication skills, social skills and self confidence need to be developed to a certain extent in order for friendship to have a positive influence on the adolescent’s psychological functioning. If these psychological factors are however not in place, friendship may to a certain extent highlight an adolescent’s weaknesses and reinforce his/her social inadequacy, inferiority, lack of self confidence and negative self talk. / Psychology of Education / M.

El estudio buscó determinar la relación entre el perdón y los estilos de apego en universitarios que tienen una relación de pareja. Para tal fin, se desarrolló un estudio empírico cuantitativo de tipo asociativo con 260 estudiantes que tienen una relación una relación de pareja que reportaron algún tipo de transgresión en su relación. Los instrumentos que se utilizaron fueron la Escala del Perdón en la Relación de Pareja y Escala de Estilos de Apego Adulto. Los resultados evidencian que, existe una relación positiva, estadísticamente significativa y con tamaño del efecto bajo entre los factores afecto positivo y benevolencia y cognición positiva con el estilo de apego evitante. Por otra parte, se encontró una relación negativa, estadísticamente significativa y con tamaño del efecto bajo entre el comportamiento positivo y compasión con el apego ansioso (miedo a la distancia del afecto de la pareja). A su vez, se halló una relación negativa, estadísticamente significativa y con tamaño del efecto moderado entre el afecto positivo y el comportamiento positivo y compasión con el apego ansioso (miedo al abandono). Se concluye que, si uno de los integrantes de la pareja es transgredido posee un apego evitante lo que posibilitará su capacidad de perdonar. / The study sought to determine the relationship between forgiveness and attachment styles in college students who are in a relationship. To this end, a quantitative empirical study of an associative type was developed with 260 students who are in a relationship with a partner who reported some type of transgression in their relationship. The instruments used were the Couple Relationship Forgiveness Scale and the Adult Attachment Styles Scale. The results show that there is a positive, statistically significant relationship with a low effect size between the factors positive affect and benevolence and positive cognition with the avoidant attachment style. On the other hand, a negative, statistically significant and low effect size relationship was found between positive behavior and compassion with anxious attachment (fear of distance from partner's affection). In turn, a negative, statistically significant and moderate effect size relationship was found between positive affect and positive behavior and compassion with anxious attachment (fear of abandonment). It is concluded that if one of the members of the couple is transgressed, they have an avoidant attachment, which will enable their ability to forgive. / Tesis

A qualitative study of the experiences and observations of 4 art therapists and 2 program directors who facilitated Camp Suzanne, a week-long art-based therapeutic program for incarcerated mothers and their children in a federal prison in California. Research on psychotherapy, art therapy, and family therapy in prison environments, with a focus on parent-child dyads, Attachment Theory, and various techniques for creating sustainable therapy with separated family units, including tele-mental health and evidence-based military protocols, informed the interviews. The research participants were interviewed individually and created art regarding the subjects of Attachment Theory with incarcerated-mother-child dyads and longevity considerations for the program. Emergent themes in the data included the impact of art-making on attachment and a variety of observable attachment styles, as well as obstacles to both attachment and longevity of Camp Suzanne. Some of the obstacles addressed include systemic challenges, continuity of care, location concerns, external support (for facilitators and for incarcerated-mother-child dyads), as well as preparatory support (psychoeducation). Various implications of these obstacles are discussed.
