Effectiveness of Attachment Style Deactivation on Gratitude and Emotion Regulation Strategies Among Women with Histrionic Behavior Symptoms: A Comprehensive Meta-Analysis

This meta-analysis investigates the effectiveness of interventions aimed at deactivating maladaptive attachment styles on gratitude and emotion regulation strategies among women exhibiting symptoms of Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD). Following a systematic search of global and Iranian databases (۲۰۲۰–۲۰۲۵), five high-quality studies (N = ۲۲۵) were included. Results indicate a significant large effect size for the increase in gratitude (d = ۱.۶۸, ۹۵% CI [۱.۴۷, ۱.۸۸]) and adaptive emotion regulation (d = ۱.۷۹, ۹۵% CI [۱.۵۸, ۲.۰۰]). Conversely, maladaptive emotion regulation strategies showed a substantial decline. These findings suggest that targeting attachment deactivation is a potent clinical pathway for enhancing psychological well-being and emotional stability in women with histrionic traits. The study provides detailed statistical analysis, including forest plots and publication bias assessments, and discusses clinical implications for psychotherapy.
