This study aims to analyse the relationship between parent–child attachment and children’s social interaction in the city of Bandung, placing both within a psychosocial framework. The study employs a quantitative approach with a descriptive correlational design. The study sample comprised 120 children aged 10–12 years living with their parents or primary carers, selected using purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted via questionnaires, observation, and documentation. The parent–child attachment instrument was adapted from the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA), whilst the child social interaction instrument was developed based on indicators of communication, cooperation, empathy, participation, and self-adjustment. Reliability test results showed that the parent–child attachment instrument had a Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of 0.884 and the child social interaction instrument of 0.861. Data analysis was conducted descriptively, followed by normality tests, linearity tests, Pearson’s correlation, and simple linear regression. The research results indicate that parent–child attachment falls into the high category with an average score of 78.6 or 81.9%, whilst children’s social interaction also falls into the high category with an average score of 67.4 or 79.3%. The Pearson correlation test revealed a positive and significant relationship between parent–child attachment and children’s social interaction, with a correlation coefficient of 0.612 and a significance level of 0.000. The results of the simple linear regression indicated that parent–child attachment contributed 37.4% to children’s social interaction. From a psychosocial perspective, these findings confirm that the quality of emotional relationships within the family not only influences children’s psychological well-being but also shapes their social functioning in relation to peers and the surrounding environment. This study recommends strengthening the roles of the family, school, and helping professionals in supporting children’s social development more effectively through integrated interventions combining psychological and social aspects.
