Adult attachment, parent child intimacy, rejection sensitivity of university students

To identi the fctors affecting university students' rejection sensitivity, general characteristics, parent-child intimacy, and adult attachment were used as independent variables. Data were analyzed via descriptive statistics, a t test, Pearson's product moment correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression using IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0. The results showed that the factors affecting rejection sensitivity included grade point average, dating experience, parent-child intimacy, and attachment anxiety.

These results could be used as baseline data in nursing interventions to reduce rejection sensitivity in university students experiencing difficulties in their interpersonal relationships.
