Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara parsial variabel secure attachment orang tua (X1) berpengaruh terhadap perkembangan sosial emosional anak (Y) dengan nilai thitung 11,028 > ttabel 1,670 dan Sig. sebesar 0,000 < 0,05. Variabel gender anak (X2) berpengaruh terhadap perkembangan sosial emosional anak (Y) dengan nilai thitung 2,907 > ttabel 1,670 dan nilai Sig. sebesar 0,005 < 0,05.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara simultan variabel secure attachment orang tua (X1) dan gender anak (X2) berpengaruh positif terhadap perkembangan sosial emosional anak (Y). Hal ini dapat dilihat dengan nilai Fhitung sebesar 61,710 > Ftabel 3,145 dan Sig. sebesar 0,000 < 0,05 dengan pengaruh 66,9% yang termasuk dalam kategori moderat dilihat dari uji koefisien determinasi.

This research is based on the assumption that children have closeness with parents of the opposite sex and still have low aspects of children’s social-emotional development, such as independence and self-confidence, and are not able to express emotions properly. Secure attachment and gender are two of the things that affect children’s social and emotional health. This study aims to determine the influence of the secure attachment of parents and the gender of children on children’s social-emotional development. This study uses a quantitative descriptive approach; data collection techniques through questionnaires and observation checklists are described through tabulation and then processed using IBM SPSS 23 software. The results showed that, partially, the parental secure attachment variable (X1) had an effect on the social-emotional development of children (Y), with a tcal value of 11.028 > ttable 1.670 and a sig. of 0.000 < 0.05. The child gender variable (X2) had an effect on the social-emotional development of children (Y), with a tcal value of 2.907 > ttable 1.670 and a Sig. value of 0.005 < 0.05. The results of the study showed that simultaneously, the variables of parental secure attachment (X1) and child gender (X2) had a positive effect on the socio-emotional development of children (Y). This can be seen with an Fcal value of 61.710 > Ftable 3.145 and a sig. of 0.000 < 0.05 with an influence of 66.9%, which is included in the moderate category as seen from the determination coefficient test.
