대학생의 애착유형과 자아존중감 및 우울과의 관계연구 = Study of the relation to adult attachment, self-esteem, and depression of undergraduates

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This research is performed to discover how much influence does the attachment have on the self-esteem and gloom by way of the relation to adult attachment type, self-esteem and gloom among the undergraduates who were the subjects of study under the ground that they are in the early stage of adulthood and also to find out whether there was any remarkable difference from each attachment type, so that we came to these conclusions.
First, according to the distribution of adult attachment type, stability type amounts to 42.5%, disregard type 20.6%, absorption type 28.2% and fear type 8.7% in order of percentage.
After Kim Dong-jik and Han Song-yul(1997) compared the distribution of adult attachment type between Korea and America, they found out that Korean undergraduates had higher percentage of absorption type than that of disregard. Besides, Chang Hwui-suk(1997) and our research got the same result.
These mean that the characteristics of Korean culture such as group consciousness and relation-oriented inclination are rooted in our national trait .
Second, there was a statistically noticeable difference in self-respect according to the attachment type among undergraduates of our study. These results have similar conclusion with ours under the ground that both stability type with positive self emblem and disregard type have higher self-respect than both absorption type with negative self emblem and fear type.
Third, according to undergraduates' attachment type, gloom shows statistically remarkable difference. This proves that attachment has influence on the level of undergradutates' gloom to some extent. The group with highest gloom level is fear type and absorption type, the second and then disregard type, the third and the last is stability type in order.
According to Kim Eun-jong and Kwon Jong-hye(1998)'s study, absorption type has the highest gloom level and is followed by the fear type. Jang Hwui-suk's research showed that the group with stability type has the lowest level in gloom index, which has same result with ours. Consequently, compared with the result of previous study, the difference between each group doesn't show consistence according to all affection types.
Fourth, gloom accompanied by self-esteem made statistically noticeable difference. The group with relatively higher self-esteem shows lower gloom level and the group with higher gloom level has lower self-esteem, so that both self-respect and gloom has reciprocal relation.
Fifth, Statistically, the attachment type distribution for each gender didn't show any significance. Men had high tendencies of irregular types, and women had high tendencies of stable and immerse types.
But the result was inconsistent with the researches of Bartholomew, Horowitz(1991), Dong-Jik Kim and Sun-Yeol Han(1997), and Se-Jin Kim(1999).
There wasn't any significant difference in the sense of self-esteem for each gender, but the depression for each gender showed a significant difference. The depression for females(M=9.63) was considerably higher compared to males(M=8.10).
Sixth, The stable and denying group showed some relationship that shows the statistical significance in the sense of self-esteem and affection. And this suggests that attachment types of stable group and denying groups who have positive self-image have higher sense of self-esteem when they have a higher correspondence with attachment types.
But attachment and depression did not show a significant relationship with each other. The immersing group and fearing group did now show any significant relationship between attachment and sense of self-esteem. But attachment and depression showed some relationship with each other and this attachment type is higher.
This corresponds with the research results of Carnelley(1994) and Eun-Jung Kim, Jung-Hye Kim(1998) which states that depression is higher in the depression caused by attachment types in case of immersing group and fearing group.
Seventh, As a result of examining the effects that attachment has on sense of self-esteem affect depression. So we can see that the stable types is that attachment is affecting depression by using sense of self-esteem as a mediator.
This corresponds with the research results of Collins and Read(1990), and Roberts(1996) which states that attachment affects depression with sense of self-esteem as a mediator.
We can see that for denying types, attachment affects a sense of self-esteem and sense of self-esteem becomes higher as the level of affection becomes higher.
But there was nobody whom depression was affected by. We can see that immersing type becomes higher in depression as the attachment becomes higher because affection affects depression directly.
This shows consistency with the research results of Eun-Jung Kim, Jung-Jye Kwon(1998) and Carnelley(1994), etc which states that depression is specifically related to immersing types and fearing types in their results.
This shows inconsistency with the research results, which states that sense of self-esteem or its reverse behavior affects depression as mediators. For fearing types, we can see that low sense of self-esteem is related to high depression because sense of self-esteem is related to high depression because sense of self-esteem affects depression.
When we examine those results, it corresponded with the researches of Collins and Read(1990), and Roberts(1996), which stated that sense of self-esteem acts as a mediator.
But in case of denying types, immersing types, and fearing types, the results did not correspond with attachment types. Therefore, more research about the reverse behaviors is necessary as well as affection, which affects differences between affection types as being necessary.
