In order to achieve the study's objectives, a number of criteria were applied to a sample of 600 male and female students. The female researcher adopted the correlational descriptive method.
The study concluded that the Coping Styles applied by the study's sample is the positive re-assessment method with an arithmetic average of (3.52) and the Attachment Styles applied by the study's sample is the rejecting one as the arithmetic average amounted to (3.16). The study also confirmed that the most common abuse experience during childhood among the study's sample is the emotional neglect. The study revealed that there is a positive and significant correlational relationship between Coping Styles and Attachment Styles which amounts to (0.441) and that there is a positive and significant correlational relationship between Coping Styles and abuse experiences which amounts to (0.186).
The study also showed that there is a positive and statistically significant correlational relationship between Attachment Styles and Abuse experiences during childhood and that there are no statistically significant differences of the influence of gender on the study's variables (i.e. Coping Styles , Attachment Styles and Abuse experiences during childhood). It also indicated that there are no statistically significant differences at the level of (a = 0.05) between the study's pivots and specialization as the latter has no effect on students' responses with regard to Coping Styles, Attachment Styles and Abuse experiences.
In addition, there are no statistically significant differences at the level of (a = 0.05) between the study's two pivots (Coping Styles and Abuse experiences) and age as the latter has no effect on students' responses with regard to Coping Styles and Abuse experiences while age is significant to the variable of Attachment Styles,
