Abstract
The purpose of this research was to study the relationship between the Self-concept and various types of attachment in young people. The authors performed a theoretical review of available sources and established that the Self-concept and types of attachment are formed by the social environment from birth. In Russia, Self-concept studies in connection with the types of attachment are only gaining momentum. The empirical study involved a questionnaire developed by the authors. The results obtained were processed and analyzed using Excel, mathematical statistics methods, and SPSS Statistics v. 23. The correlation analysis established a two-way significant relationship in fourteen parameters between the characteristics of the Self-concept and unreliable-anxious, unreliable-avoidant, and unreliable-disorganized types of attachment. The reliable type of attachment proved to be an exception with no significant connections. Thus, three attachment types correlated with the Self-concept. The revealed interrelations confirmed the hypothesis about a relationship between the Self-concept and the type of attachment in young people. The absence of a relationship between the Self-concept and the reliable attachment type allowed the authors to outline plans for further research.
