Abstract

Background: The aim of this study were to investigate the effect of unstable attachment on subjective well-being and to identify mediator effects of decentering and self-compassion. Methods: A total of 255 college students participated in this study by completing the following questionnaires: Experience in Close Relationship Scale, Subjective Well-being Questionnaire, Decentering Scale, and Self-Compassion Scale. Results: Mediated Regression Analysis was used for the purposes of study. The results are as the following. First, unstable attachment had significant negative correlation with subjective well-being and decentering and self-compassion. Second, decentering had a partial meditational effect on the relation between unstable attachment and subjective well-being. Third, self-compassion had completely meditational effect on the relation between unstable attachment and subjective well-being. Conclusions: These results suggested that it is important to enhance students' level of decentering and self-compassion in order to increase their subjective well-being effectively.

본 연구는 불안정 애착과 주관적안녕감의 관계에서 탈중심화와 자기자비의 매개효과를 알아보기 위하여 실시하였다. 이를 위해 255명의 대학생을 대상으로 불안정애착척도, 주관적 안녕감척도, 탈중심화 척도, 자기자비척도를 실시하여 분석하였다. 매개회귀분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 불안정애착은 주관적 안녕감, 탈중심화, 자기자비와 유의한 부적 상관을 나타냈다. 둘째, 불안정애착이 주관적 안녕감에 미치는 영향에서 탈중심화는 부분매개효과를 나타냈다. 셋째, 불안정애착이 주관적 안녕감에 미치는 영향에서 자기자비는 완전매개효과를 나타냈다. 본 연구결과에 근거하여 논의와 제언을 기술하였다.
