Abstract

The purpose of this study was to verify the mediating effect of mentalization in the relationship between insecure adult attachment and resilience. A total of 468 data were collected by requesting a survey to an online research company. The collected data were subjected to descriptive statistics and hierarchical regression analysis using spss 25.0. The Sobel test was conducted to verify the mediating effect of mentalization. The research results are as follows. First, there was a significant correlation between attachment anxiety, attachment avoidance, mentalization, and resilience. Second, the mediating effect of mentalization was found to be significant in the relationship between attachment anxiety and resilience, and a complete mediating effect was found. Third, the mediating effect of mentalization in the relationship between attachment avoidance and resilience was found to be insignificant. Through the results of this study, the relationship between insecure adult attachment and resilience was reconfirmed, and the role of mentalization in the relationship between them was also confirmed.

본 연구의 목적은 불안정 성인애착과 회복탄력성과의 관계에서 정신화의 매개효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 온라인 리서치 회사에 설문을 의뢰하여 총 468명의 데이터를 수집하였다. 수집된 데이터는 SPSS 25.0을 활용하여 기술통계와 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였고, 정신화의 매개효과를 검증하기 위하여 Sobel test를 실시하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 애착불안, 애착회피, 정신화, 회복탄력성 간에 모두 유의미한 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 애착불안과 회복탄력성 간의 관계에서 정신화의 매개효과는 유의미한 것으로 나타났으며, 완전매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 애착회피와 회복탄력성 간의 관계에서 정신화의 매개효과는 유의미하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 통해 불안정 성인애착과 회복탄력성 간의 관계를 재확인하였으며, 이들 간의 관계에서 나타나는 정신화의 역할 또한 확인하였다.
