Abstract
This study explores how different attachment styles influence the well-being and coping strategies of orphans living with their family members. When children lose their parents, their emotional bonds and sense of security are deeply affected. These early experiences shape how they handle stress, build relationships, and maintain their mental well-being. Understanding these connections is important to provide better care and support for orphaned children. A total of 400 orphans (255 boys and 145 girls) took part in this study. To measure attachment styles, well-being, and coping strategies, researchers used well-known psychological tools: the Adolescent Relationship Scale Questionnaire, the BBC Well-Being Scale, and the COPE Inventory. Statistical methods like Descriptive and inferential statistics analysis were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that orphans with a secure attachment style tend to cope with challenges in a healthier and more effective way. However, even those with insecure attachment styles developed their own ways of handling stress, though their strategies might be less effective. The study also found a strong connection between well-being and coping strategies, showing that emotional resilience plays a key role in maintaining mental health. These insights highlight the need to nurture secure attachments in orphaned children, as this can significantly improve their emotional stability and ability to handle difficulties. The study provides useful information for caregivers, teachers, and mental health professionals, helping them create better support systems to enhance the well-being and resilience of orphans.
