The purpose of study was to investigate internal and external problem behavior according to types of multiple-attachments exhibited to both mothers and teachers. The subjects were 120 preschool children (between 4 to, -5 years old), their mothers and teachers. The attachment classification of these 120 preschoolers was evaluated by an attachment Q-set. Data was statistically analyzed by means of one-way ANOVA, and the Duncan test with the SPSS Win 13.0 program. Our results were as follows, Firstly, significant differences were observed in the internal problem behavior according to types of multiple-attachments. Second, significant differences were also observed in the external problem behavior according to types of multiple-attachments. This study suggests that secure attachment relationships with teachers may compensate for insecure relationships with mothers.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for intervention development programs that could improve the attachment of first-time mothers. Methods: Data were collected from 148 Primipara Women in S city from April 1 to May 31, 2021. Data were processed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis, and stepwise regression analysis. Results: As a result of the study, mother-to-infant attachment was negatively correlated with maternal fatigue(r=-.65, p<.001) and anxiety level(r=-.62, p<.001). Maternal fatigue(β=-.52), anxiety level(β=-.48), Child care assistant(β=.10) affect the attachment of first-time mothers. Mother-to-infant attachment the total explanation power was 64.3%(F=89.19, p<.001). It is necessary to develop programs that reduce maternal fatigue and anxiety level based on factors affecting the mother-to-infant attachment of first-time mothers and improve the ability of the mother-to-infant attachment.

The purpose of this study was to identify the structural relationship model between teacher attachment, peer attachment, self-encouragement, career self-efficacy, and career maturity and to analyze the direct or indirect effect among latent variables. 220 elementary school students in a Cheongju were sampled. Four measurement instruments were employed; the Teacher Attachment Peer Attachment Scale, Self-encouragement Scale, the Career self-efficacy and the Career Maturity scale. The Collected data were analyzed by correlation and regression alalysis with SPSS program and Structural Equation major Modeling(SEM) and fitness of the final model were CFI=.957, TLI=.951, RMSEA=.049. The results of this study were as follows: First, there were significant positive correlations among teacher attachment, peer attachment, self-encouragement, career self-efficacy, and career maturity. Second, according to the structural equation modeling, the results showed that self-encouragement and career self-efficacy mediated the effect of teacher attachment, peer attachment on career maturity.

This study examined the moderating effects of gender on the influences of parental parenting attitudes on peer attachment in early adolescents. Data analysis was conducted over 1,912 respondents who met the purpose of this study among Korean Youth Panel KCYPS 7th year data of 1st grade in elementary school. The research methods examined the influence of variables on dependent variable, with difference of gender influences. As a result, it was found that gender, the control variable, and overall grade satisfaction affected peer attachment. Second, positive and negative parenting attitudes have confirmed positive and negative effects on peer attachment. Third, moderating effect was confirmed as parenting attitudes by gender show the difference of impact on peer attachment. Therefore, this study suggest to apply it to practical and theoretical implications and basic data for the program development to improve youth peer relations.

The present study examined the mediating effects of self-esteem on the relationships between adult attachment and smartphone addiction. Participants were recruited from universities in a number of cities in Korea and they were given the survey including instruments that measured adult attachment, self-esteem, and smartphone addiction. Total 230 participants' data were analyzed and the results indicated anxious attachment was significantly positively correlated with smartphone addiction but negatively associated with self-esteem. Avoidant attachment was only negatively associated with self-esteem. Furthermore, self-esteem partially mediated the relationship between anxious attachment and smartphone addiction. Current findings can contribute to the development of the effective prevention/intervention programs of smart phone addiction for a young adults.

According to the notion that anxious attachment may not explain depression fully, there has been abundant studies investigating the mediating factors affecting the relationship between anxious attachment and depression. However, there was no previous study examining the mediating effect of self-absorption. Therefore, the present study examined the mediating effect of self-absorption on the relationships between adult anxious attachment and depression for 283 college students. To examine relationships among variables, structural equation modeling analysis was utilized. and the present study found a partial mediation effect of self-absorption in the relationship between anxious attachment and depression. This result suggests that anxious attachment influences attentional process and as a result, the maladoptive self-focused attention can precipitate depression. Current findings can contribute to the field by providing knowledge about risk factors and cognitive mediators affecting mental health of college students who are in "transitional period" in their life. Future studies can investigate interactions among risk, protective, and mediating factors affecting the relationship between anxious attachment and depression among college students.

We identified the mediating role of interpersonal issues in the relationship between adult attachment type and emotional expression ambivalence. The subjects of the study were 327 emotional workers who lived in five cities. As the scale, ECR-R, AEQ-K, and IIP were used. Sobel verification was performed after multiple regression analysis. The results show that the interpersonal problem partially mediates between the attachment and emotional expression ambivalence. This suggests that the characteristics of interpersonal relationships affect emotional emotions in forming close attachment relationships of emotional workers. Subsequent research will expand the scope of research by supplementing the shortcomings of existing research.

This study is to verify the mediating effect of self-efficacy in the relationship between elements of the ERG and organizational attachment. To verify this, a survey was conducted on employees working at companies in Korea and the research found that all three elements of ERG have a significant effect on self-efficacy, and self-efficacy also have a significant effect on organizational attachment. Thus, it was found that self-efficacy played a mediating role in the relationship between the three elements of ERG and organizational attachment. Based on these findings, we present practical implications while also presenting future research directions.
