Abstract
Our study explores the role of insecure attachments and maternal childhood trauma on emotional regulation in immigrant Indian mothers. The insecure attachment was a significant moderator for childhood trauma history and emotional regulation. The results show that emotional regulation capacity improved if the mother’s attachment style is more avoidant.
