Abstract

This research adopted a correlational research design. The respondents were 209 trainee counsellors from the Counselling Program, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak UNIMAS. Two questionnaires were used in this study: The Inventory of Parents and Peer Attachment (IPPA) and the Big Five Personality.

It also showed a significant relationship between Parents Communication Attachment and Extraversion, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness.
