아동기 대인간 외상경험이 불안애착과 회피애착에 미치는 영향: 단절 및 거절 도식의 다중매개효과를 중심으로

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the multiple mediation effects of disconnection and rejection schemas in the effects of childhood interpersonal trauma on adult anxious and avoidant attachment. A survey was conducted on 304 early adults nationwide to analyze the individual effects of childhood interpersonal trauma on anxious and avoidant attachment, and to verify the multiple mediation effects by dividing disconnection and rejection schemas into five subtypes(emotional deprivation, abandonment/instability, mistrust/abuse, social isolation, defectiveness/shame). The results showed that emotional deprivation, abandonment/instability, mistrust/abuse, defectiveness/shame schemas mediated the relationship between childhood interpersonal trauma and anxious attachment, while emotional deprivation, abandonment/instability, mistrust/abuse, and social isolation schemas mediated the relationship between childhood interpersonal trauma and avoidant attachment. These results suggest that disconnection and rejection schemas play an important mediating role in the formation of insecure attachment of adults with childhood interpersonal trauma. This study can contribute to understanding the impact of childhood interpersonal trauma on adult interpersonal relationships and exploring effective treatment interventions for individuals experiencing related psychological difficulties. Finally, the implications, limitations of this study and future research directions were discussed.
