한국판 상태 성인 애착 척도의 신뢰도 및 타당도 연구 = The Reliability and Validity of the Korean Version of State Adult Attachment Measure

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구에서는 K-SAAM의 요인 구조에 대한 탐색적 요인 분석과 상관 분석을 통해 이 척도가 상태 성인 애착을 신뢰롭고 타당하게 측정하는 도구임을 입증하였다. 전반적인분석 결과, K-SAAM과 관계성을 측정하는 ECR-R 및 RQ 은 비슷한 구성개념의 하위 척도 간에 유의한 정적 상관을,상반된 구성 개념의 하위 척도 간에 유의한 부적 상관을 보여 수렴 타당도와 변별 타당도가 높은 것으로 확인되었다.
또한, K-SAAM의 하위 척도와 K-PANAS, BDI, STAI,TAS-20K 및 R-DAS 간의 유의한 상관은 애착이 개인의 정서 상태 및 감정 표현 능력과 관련이 있으며 약한 수준이지만 개인의 부부 적응 능력을 예측해 줄 수 있음을 확인하였다. 앞으로, 이 도구를 사용하여 성인 애착 관계의 질적 변화를 측정함으로써 애착 관련 치료 프로그램의 효과를 입증하는 데에 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Objectives Adult attachment is a relatively stable disposition, rooted in internal working models of self and relationship patterns. However, findings reported from recent research have suggested that levels of attachment anxiety, avoidance, and security are also affected by situational factors. The State Adult Attachment Measure (SAAM) was developed for the purpose of capturing temporary fluctuations in the sense of attachment security and insecurity. In this study, we examined the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the State Adult Attachment Measure (K-SAAM).
Methods K-SAAM, Experiences in Close Relationships Questionnaire-Revised (ECR-R), Relationship Questionnaire (RQ), Korean version of Positive Affective and Negative Affect Schedule (K-PANAS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (R-DAS), and Toronto Alexithymia Scale 20-K (TAS 20-K) were administered to 180 subjects in the community. Exploratory factor analyses and correlation analyses among related variables were conducted.
Results Scores on the K-SAAM demonstrated high internal consistency, with corrected item-total correlations from .56 to .87. Results of exploratory factor analysis yielded three reliable subscales measuring state levels of attachment-related anxiety, avoidance, and security. Results of additional analyses demonstrated both convergent validity and discriminant validity of the K-SAAM.
Conclusion The results reported here are highly supportive of the reliability, validity, and utility of the K-SAAM as a state measure of attachment. This new measure will allow clinicians to assess various temporary changes in attachment levels and to examine the efficacy of attachment-based psychotherapy. The K-SAAM has the potential to advance the field in understanding of the dynamics of adult attachment.
