The attachment theory is widely recognized as a fundamental concept in understanding human growth and development. It illustrates how young children bond with their caregivers and form a secure base to explore the world. Numerous prior research studies have focused on the attachment of children to their caregivers and the impact of attachment on the children’s future developmental trajectories. However, there have been relatively few studies exploring whether parents’ attachment to their child can influence the child's development. In this research, we aim to examine the potential influence of parental (or guardians’) attachment to children on children's exploration of the world, particularly in the context of social interactions, through assessing their social skills. Questionnaires were distributed to Cornell undergraduates (N = 218), testing their perception of their chosen guardian’s attachment to them at three different ages and their current social skills. The findings indicate a weak correlation between parental attachment and children's social skills, which varies according to the particular age, attachment style, and the specific subset of social skills examined. Also, the results show that there are significant differences across the three age groups, revealing that 6-year-olds exhibit the highest scores in closeness, whereas 18-year-olds show higher levels of anxiety and dependence.
