인간이해 : 불안정 성인애착이 거절민감성에 미치는 영향: 외로움과 수치심의 매개효과 = The Influence of Adult Attachment on Rejection Sensitivity: The Mediating Effects of Loneliness and Shame

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigated the effect of insecure adult attachment on rejection sensitivity and the mediating role of loneliness and shame. A structural equation modeling was used to examine the pathway of influence among insecure adult attachment, in terms of attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance, loneliness, shame, and rejection sensitivity. Data from self-report questionnaires based on a sample of 295 adults in their early twenties to thirties including many college students were analyzed using the Mplus 4.21. Findings revealed that attachment anxiety significantly influenced loneliness, shame, and rejection sensitivity. The eff?ect of attachment anxiety on rejection sensitivity was partially mediated by shame. Attachment avoidance significantly influenced loneliness. The eff?ect of attachment avoidance on shame or rejection sensitivity, however, was not significant. These results indicated that there are separate pathways of influence among attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance, loneliness, shame and rejection sensitivity. The current findings extend the literature regarding insecure adult attachment as an important risk factor for rejection-sensitivity. Strengths and limitations of the present study and suggestions for future research are discussed. Counseling implications for clients with rejection sensitivity, particularly college students with attachment anxiety and negative social emotions such as lonliness and shame are included in the discussion.
