본 연구에서는 액착이론 및 가족발달적 접근을 바탕으로 하여 성인딸과 어머니의 상대방에대한 애착, 그들의 상호작용, 주거상 거리, 딸의 결혼 및 부모기로의 변화(tran-sition)등 성인 모녀 관계에서 중요한 제 변인들 간의 관계를 알아보았다. 본 연구에서는 유목적적 편의표집 방법을 이용하여 100쌍의 성인 딸과 그들의 친 어머니를 대상으로 선정하였으며 횡단적 비교를 위하여 성인 딸의 결혼 여부 및 자녀 유무에 따라 다음과 같은 3집단으로 구분하였다 : 미혼의 딸과 그들의 어머니(미혼기) 자녀가 없는 기혼의 딸과 그들 의 어머니(신혼기), 자녀가 있는 기혼의딸과 그들의 어머니(부모기), 성인 모녀 애착 질문지를 이용하여 얻은 응답을 토대로 성인 딸과 어머니의 애착에 영향을 미치는 변인들을 중다회귀분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 성인모녀 애착은 상호 호혜적이었다. 성인 모녀간의 상호작용, 모녀간 애착의 차이, 딸의 결혼여부는 성인 딸과 어머니의 애착에 유의한 영향을 미쳤는데, 특히 이들 변인과 관련하여 성인 모녀가 서로에 대한 애착을 지각하는 양상에는 차이가 있었다. 모녀간 주거상 거리는 성인 모녀 액착에 아무런 영향을 미치지 않았으며 이것은 서 인기의 상장적 애착을 의미한다고 할 수 있다.

Introduction：Research on attachment in view point of the developmental perspective which began in the 1940s progressed during several decades. Many investigators focused mother-child separation in early attachment studies, and moved to the relationship with childhood psychopathology. Recently attachment theory and research are moving forward along the intergenerational transmission of attachment patterns, and adolescents and adult mental disorders in the developmental perspectives. Methods：We surveyed the research papers through Medline search, attachment-related monographs, and review or original papers published in Korean journal. Results：Developmental attachment researches have demonstrated convincingly that insecure attachment in infancy is associated with attachment disorder; several childhood psychopatholgy, such as institutional care and adoption, aggression and behavioral problems, childhood anxiety disorders and depressive disorders, gender identity disorder and feeding disorder, and child abuse and maltreatment; peer relationship and social competency, and parental behaviors. Recently the methodological advances including the Adult Attachment Interview that systematically assesses the adults' recollections of the earlier parent-child relationship they experienced could move beyond attachment researcher's initial concern with infancy to consider attachment processes throughout the life span. We could find that the quality of attachment was associated with several mental disorders in adolescents and adults significantly. Conclusion：Attachment theory would have focused on more specific parent-child relationship than general parental behavior. Recent attachment theory underscores its evolutionary origins to promote development of infant and contribute to human survival in psychobiological bases. Advances in attachment research could unite interests in evolutional biology and developmental psychology in understanding early parent-child relationship, and apply to clinical issues concerning mental health throughout the life span.

The purpose of this article Is to review the problems in using Hazan & Shaver,s adult attachment inventory as spousal attachment inventory. In summary, Hazan & Shaver's forced-choice inventory is required to caution in using for spouse attachment inventory because of the disproportionally higher secure-attachment type ratio(72% - 89%). It was previous reseaches that used multi-item Likert inventory instead of Hazan & shaver's forced-choice inventory for result analysis because of disproportionally higher secure-attachment type ratio. Although Hazan & shaver's forced-choice inventory was mostly used for young unmarried adults, Using Hazan & shaver's forced-choice inventory as spouse attachment inventory for married adults seem to be inappropriately. Hazan & Shaver's multi-item Likert inventory has the problem of poor reliability in insecure-avoidence factor especially. Hazan & Shaver's one item Likert inventory has the problem of social desirability.

The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of self-esteem and unstable adult attachment on compensatory consumption among millennials. The survey was conducted on millennials (19~34) in June, 2018. The results revealed the static relationship between self-esteem and compliment-type compensatory consumption, while the relationship of self-esteem with consolation-type compensation consumption become insignificant when unstable adult attachment was controlled. Unstable adult attachment(anxiety/avoidance) showed significant impace on both compliment-type and consolation-type compensatory consumption. The research findings imply that compensatory consumption behaviors can be explained with psychological and relational factors among consumers in their early adulthood.

This research studied differences in the distribution of maternal attachment representation between divorced and non-divorced low income mothers, associations between their divorce and childhood experiences, and associations between maternal attachment representation and childhood experiences. Subjects were twenty each divorced and still-married women with low socioeconomic status. The Adult Attachment Interview was used to assess their attachment representation resulting in classification by four types; autonomous (F), dismissing (Ds), preoccupied (E), or unresolved/disorganized (Ud). The divorced women had more childhood experiences of being rejected and neglected by their mothers than the non-divorced women. This indicates that maternal childhood experiences were related to maternal attachment representation and divorce.

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.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of attachment across an individual's lifespan. The present study explored how mother attachment in childhood influences adult student's major satisfaction and examined the mediating effect of self-esteem between mother attachment and major satisfaction. Participants were 529 adult students enrolled in S Cyber University. They answered a questionnaire about their present self-esteem level, attachment to their mother in childhood, and major satisfaction. By using SEM analysis, this study found that adult students' self-esteem completely mediated between their childhood attachment to their mother and their major satisfaction in adulthood. This result indicates influences of a secure attachment and positive self-esteem on major satisfaction of e-learning adult students.

Introduction: Human attachment is known to be closely associated with psychophysiological phenomenon. However, there have not been enough researches on the relationship of the attachment with sleep, especially with insomnia. The objective of the present study was to investigate the relationship between adult attachment styles and insomnia in community-dwelling population. Methods: One hundred seventy seven community-dwelling adults (74 males and 103 females；mean age $41.23{\pm}8.44$) participated in the current study. To assess the attachment styles (secure, dismissing, preoccupied and fearful), self-reporting Relationship Style Questionnaires (RSQ) were completed by the participants. Presence, type, frequency and duration of insomnia in the last month were also investigated. Results: Compared to subjects without insomnia, subjects with insomnia had higher fearful attachment scores (t=2.87, p=0.005). Higher fearful attachment score were found in all subtypes of insomnia (sleep-onset insomnia, t=2.33, p=0.021；maintenance insomnia, t=2.92, p=0.004；terminal insomnia, t=2.89, p=0.004). Subjects with frequent (${\ge}3$ per week) insomnia had higher fearful attachment scores than subjects with infrequent (${\le}2$ per week) insomnia (t=2.57, p=0.012). In addition, subjects with chronic insomnia (${\ge}6$ months) had higher preoccupied attachment scores relative to subjects with transient insomnia (<6 months), (t=2.57, p=0.012). Conclusion: In the current study, attachment styles were different depending on the characteristics of insomnia. The fearful attachment was associated with the presence of insomnia, while the preoccupied attachment was associated with the chronicity of insomnia. These findings suggest that there may be some relationship between the adult attachment styles and the clinical features of insomnia.
