Abstract

This study investigates the influence of self-esteem and parental attachment style on toxic relationships among university students in Sidoarjo, Indonesia. Motivated by high rates of dating violence, the research defines toxic relationships as unhealthy partnerships involving physical abuse (being hit with objects or hands), verbal abuse (insults, mockery, harsh speech), sexual abuse (coercive sexual acts), and manipulative behaviors. Using a quantitative approach, 346 students aged 19–25 were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via questionnaires measuring toxic relationship levels, self-esteem, and attachment style. Preliminary results showed most students experienced high-level toxic relationships. Statistical analysis revealed p = 0.000 (p < 0.05) with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.702, indicating that self-esteem and parental attachment style simultaneously significantly influence toxic relationships. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening self-esteem and addressing attachment patterns to prevent toxic relationships among university students.
