Abstract
Early experiences, including adverse childhood events and parental bonding, shape affection patterns in adulthood. Supportive parental care fosters love language expression, aligning with attachment theory. While trauma may drive adaptive use of love languages to meet unmet needs, high parental care buffers this effect, mitigating compensatory emotional strategies.
