Abstract

Emerging adults have development task to form intimate relationships, one of which is formed through dating. An important aspect for a healthy relationship is trust. Low trust in relationship is associated with higher relationship uncertainty. This study is aimed to examine the role of attachment anxiety, attachment avoidance, and perceived partner responsiveness on trust in dating couples. Research used quantitative design which included 209 subjects (female: 78%, male: 22%) currently involved in romantic relationship for at least 2 years, and aged 18 to 25 years old (M=21,19, SD = 1,72). Instruments used in this research are: (a) Trust in Close Relationship Scale, (b) Experience in Close Relationship, and (c) Perceived Partner Responsiveness Scale. Multiple regression analysis show that attachment anxiety (β = -0,019; p> 0,05), attachment avoidance (β = -0,154; p < 0,05), and perceived partner responsiveness (β = 0,539; p < 0,05) has significant role on trust in dating couples (R2 = 0,407, p < 0,05).
