Abstract

One of the most important goals of psychology is to identify the variables and methods that affect well-being and mental health and lead to a better life and human adaptation to life and life threats. Emotional intelligence, attachment styles, and resilience are some of the characteristics and abilities that are important in positive psychology and the type of delivery (cesarean section and vaginal delivery) can affect these variables. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare emotional intelligence, attachment styles, and resilience among adolescents born with two methods of cesarean section and vaginal delivery. Materials & Methods: The research is a descriptive-analytical research and scientifically- comparative. The statistical population consisted of all girls’ high school students in Mamasani city in 2017-2018. 60 students were selected by cluster sampling (30 students for vaginal delivery and 30 students for cesarean section). Data were collected by Resilience Questionnaire of Conner and Davidson (2003), Emotional Intelligence of Bar Ann (1997), and Attachment Style of Collins and Rid (1990). Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 21 software, and descriptive statistics and one way variance analysis (ANOVA) were utilized. Results: The findings showed that there is a significant difference between the emotional intelligence in the two groups of vaginal delivery and cesarean section (p <0.02). The mean (standard deviation) of emotional intelligence in vaginal delivery was 321 (21) and it was 307/89(21.69) in cesarean section group. Findings showed that emotional intelligence in vaginal delivery group is more than cesarean section group. Also there is no difference between the safety in vaginal delivery (13.43 (4.27)) and cesarean section (12.46 (3.2)), avoidance attachment in vaginal delivery (12.2 (3.12)) and cesarean section (13.24 (2.83)), anxiety attachment in vaginal delivery (15.79 (4.02)) and cesarean section (14.17(5.07)), and resilience in vaginal delivery (75.03 (14.66)) and cesarean section (69.71 (20.39)). Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, it can be concluded that the physiological experience of the methods of delivery can affect psychological characteristics such as emotional intelligence
