Objectives: We aimed to compare the differences in parenting stress, parenting attitudes, and parents' mental health between different adult attachment styles. Methods: Forty-four parents who completed a parental education program were enrolled in our study. They completed the Korean version of the Experience of Close Relationship Revised, Korean-Parenting Stress Index-Short Form, Maternal Behavior Research Instrument, and Symptom Checklist-90-Revised. Results: The avoidant attachment score positively correlated with parenting stress. The anxious attachment score showed a positive relationship with parenting stress, hostile parenting attitude, and psychopathology, but a negative association with an affectionate parenting attitude. The secure attachment group exhibited a more autonomous, affectionate parenting style and a less hostile parenting attitude and less parenting stress than the insecure attachment group. Dismissing-avoidant attachment parents reported significantly higher parenting stress scores than secure attachment parents. Preoccupied and fearful-avoidant attachment parents displayed a more hostile parenting style than secure attachment parents. Dismissing-avoidant and preoccupied parents reported a less affectionate parenting attitude than secure attachment parents. Conclusion: There were differences in parenting stress, parenting attitudes, and parents' mental health depending on the adult attachment style. More specific education and interventions based on parental attachment type are necessary for parents.

This study was designed to identify the adult attachment style among hospital nurses, and to examine its effect on nurses' job stress and organizational commitment. Self-administered survey questionnaires with structured instruments were developed, and a total of 281 responses from five small to medium-sized hospitals were used for statistical analyses with SPSS Windows version 24.0 program. Major findings of the study are three fold. First, among the four styles of adult attachment, found in 30.6% of survey respondents, stability style was the most popular, followed by fear style(28.5%), disregard style(24.2%), and devotion style(17.8%). Second, according to the general characteristics of study participants, adult attachment style showed a significant difference in age($x^2=23.29$, p=.025). Third, multiple regression analyses showed that hospital nurses with the fear style among other adult attachment styles had a significantly higher job stress compared to those with the stability style. The fear style also affected the nurses' organizational commitment level in a negative way, but the effect was only marginal. Results from this study suggest that customized program based on the nurses' adult attachment style should be developed to enhance their organizational commitment while reducing job stress in small to medium-sized hospitals.

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.

본 연구에서는 중등교사의 성인애착, 사회적 지지, 우울간의 관계를 확인하고 나아가 성인애착과 우울의 관계에서 사회적 지지의 조절효과를 검증하였다. 이를 위해 서울, 경기 지역의 3개 중·고등학교에 재직 중인 중등교사 231명을 대상으로, 주요변인들(성인애착, 사회적 지지, 우울)간 관련성을 살펴보기 위한 상관분석과 성인애착과 우울의 관계에서 사회적 지지의 조절효과를 검증하기 위한 위계적 중다회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 주요 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 성인애착의 하위차원인 의존애착, 불안애착, 친밀애착이 각각 우울과 유의한 상관을 보였고, 상급자 지지를 제외한 나머지 사회적 지지 하위차원들과 우울간, 그리고 의존애착과 상급자 지지를 제외한 나머지 성인애착 하위차원들과 사회적 지지 하위차원들간 유의한 상관이 확인되었다. 둘째, 불안애착과 우울의 관계에서 사회적 지지의 조절효과가 유의했으며, 의존애착과 우울의 관계에서 사회적 지지의 하위차원인 동료 지지 및 가족 지지의 조절효과가 확인되었다. 반면 의존애착과 우울의 관계에서 사회적 지지의 하위차원인 상급자 지지의 조절효과는 유의하지 않았다. 연구결과를 토대로 시사점과 한계점을 논의하였다.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to measure the effect of a group-based parent education program on parenting stress and attitude and comparing the same according to adult attachment styles. Methods: Twenty-two mothers who enrolled in the parent education program participated in our study. The participants filled in the Korean version of the Experience in Close Relationship Revised (ECR-R), Korean-Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (K-PSI-SF), Maternal Behavior Research Instrument (MBRI), and Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) before and after the program. We compared the pre - and post-scores of the groups and compared the differences in effect according to adult attachment styles. Results: For all study participants, the Parent Distress (p=0.023) and Total Parenting Stress (p=0.018) significantly declined after the parent education program. There were no differences in other variables. Within the secure attachment group, the Total Parenting Stress (p=0.008), Parent Distress (p=0.015), and Difficult Child (p=0.011) scores in the K-PSI-SF significantly decreased after participating in the program. The Difficult Child scores (p=0.040) significantly dropped in the K-PSI-SF post program within the secure attachment group, compared to the insecure attachment group. Conclusion: The group-based parent education program impacted parenting stress. Depending on the adult attachment styles, the effect of the program varied.

Thise study is designed to demonstrate the influence of socio-demographic variables(age, education, career history and marital Status), alexithymia, burnout, and adult attachment on child disciplinary styles; childcare teachers in charge of young children were studied. The purpose of the study is to provide information about the desirable disciplinary styles of a childcare teacher in order to strengthen the quality of childcare education. The data collected in this study showed the following results: First, the age, education, career history and marital status of a teacher produced good results statistically irrelevant to the their child disciplinary style. Second, a high level of negative correlation was found among alexithymia, burnout, adult attachment and the child disciplinary style of a childcare teacher. In other words, if a teacher shows a high level of alexithymia, burnout, and adult attachment, it is likely that the teacher's child disciplinary style is coercive and neglect, and the teacher tends to give an illogical explanation. Third, in contrast to the other variables, burnout and adult attachment have a greater effect on child disciplinary style than alexithymia.

현대인의 생활필수품이 된 스마트폰은 단순히 생활필수품을 넘어 현대인들이 과도하게 몰입하게 되는 대상이 되었다. 이로 인해 현대인들의 다수는 스마트폰 중독 현상에 노출되게 되었다. 그러나 이러한 대상 중독 현상은 대상물 자체의 문제를 넘어 이를 이용하는 대상자들의 심리적 특성에 따라 서로 다를 수 있다. 이로 인해 본 연구에서는 대학생들을 대상으로 이들의 스마트폰 중독에 영향을 미치는 요소로써 대학생들의 성인 애착과 내현적 자기애의 특성을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 스마트폰 중독 척도, 성인 애착 척도, 내현적 자기애의 척도를 각각 사용하여, 스마트폰 중독, 성인 애착 및 내현적 자기애 수준을 측정하였다. 그리고 스마트폰 중독 정도를 종속변수로 하고, 성인 애착정도와 내현적 자기애 정도를 독립 변인으로 하는 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 불안 애착과 내현적 자기애의 과민/취약성 요인이 스마트폰 중독에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 대학생들의 스마트폰 중독 현상을 이해하기 위해서 이에 영향을 미치는 대상자들의 심리적 특성 요소들의 영향에 따라 서로 다른 접근방법이 요구됨을 시사한다.
