Abstract


Abstract. Building romantic relationship is a developental task for young adults. There are two types of love relationships based on differences in distance, short distance and long distance relationship. Many couples are in long distance relationships, which allows conflict to arise in the relationship. Therefore, commitment is needed for both to be able to maintain a relationship. Attachment is a relational factor that is closely related to the sustainability of the relationship, but on the other hand, individuals with avoidant attachment tend to have low commitment to maintain their relationship. Previous research stated that dyadic coping can increase commitment for individuals with avoidant attachments, so that they are more motivated to maintain their relationship. This study aims to see whether avoidant attachment has a significant relationship with commitment, and whether common dyadic coping and negative dyadic coping moderate the relationship between avoidant attachment and commitment in individuals who are in long-distance relationships. A total 406 participants with an age range of 18-40 years participated in this study. Commitment was measured using the Triangular Theory of Love Scales (Sternberg, 1990); Avoidant attachment was measured using the Experience in Close Relationship Questionnaire-Revised (Fraley, Brennan, Waller, 2000); and Dyadic coping was measured using Dyadic Coping Inventory (Bodenmann, 2008). The results showed that (1) Aoidant attachment was a significant predictor of commitment in long-distance relationships; (2) Common dyadic coping moderates avoidant attachment and commitment in long-distance relationships; (3) Negative dyadic coping does not moderate the relationship between avoidant attachment and commitment. This research is expected to add to the theoretical study of attachment style, commitment, and dyadic coping as well as become a reference material for counselors to deal with clients that having related problems.
