Abstract

ABSTRAK Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh meningkatnya fenomena long distance marriage (LDM) sebagai konsekuensi mobilitas kerja dan tuntutan sosial ekonomi, yang berpotensi menimbulkan tantangan psikologis dalam kehidupan perkawinan. Berdasarkan Attachment Theory yang dikemukakan oleh Bowlby dan dikembangkan dalam konteks hubungan dewasa oleh Hazan dan Shaver, adult attachment style dipahami sebagai pola kelekatan yang memengaruhi cara individu membangun rasa aman, mengelola emosi, dan mempertahankan hubungan intim. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan adult attachment style pada istri yang menjalani long distance marriage. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain fenomenologis. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam terhadap istri yang telah menjalani pernikahan jarak jauh 1 tahun dan dianalisis menggunakan Nvivo. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengalaman emosional istri dalam LDM dimaknai secara berbeda sesuai dengan pola kelekatan dewasa yang dimiliki. Istri dengan secure attachment memaknai keterpisahan sebagai kondisi yang dapat dihadapi melalui kepercayaan, komunikasi, dan regulasi emosi. Sebaliknya, anxious attachment ditandai oleh kecemasan relasional, sedangkan avoidant attachment dimaknai sebagai kecenderungan menjaga jarak emosional sebagai strategi perlindungan diri. Temuan ini menegaskan peran sentral adult attachment style dalam membentuk pengalaman psikologis istri pada konteks pernikahan jarak jauh. Kata kunci: Adult Attachment Style, Long Distance Marriage, Istri, Keterikatan. ABSTRACT This research is motivated by the increasing phenomenon of long-distance marriage (LDM) as a consequence of job mobility and socioeconomic demands, which have the potential to create psychological challenges in married life. Based on Attachment Theory proposed by Bowlby and developed in the context of adult relationships by Hazan and Shaver, adult attachment style is understood as an attachment pattern that influences how individuals build a sense of security, manage emotions, and maintain intimate relationships. This study aims to describe the adult attachment style of wives in long-distance marriages. This study used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with wives who had been in long-distance marriages for at least six months and analyzed using Nvivo. The results showed that the emotional experiences of wives in LDM were interpreted differently according to their adult attachment patterns. Wives with secure attachments interpreted separation as a condition that could be overcome through trust, communication, and emotional regulation. In contrast, anxious attachments were characterized by relational anxiety, while avoidant attachments were interpreted as a tendency to maintain emotional distance as a self-protective strategy. These findings confirm the central role of adult attachment styles in shaping the psychological experiences of wives in the context of longdistance marriages. Keywords: Adult Attachment Style, Long Distance Marriage, Wives, Attachment.
