대학생의 불안정 성인애착이 이성관계만족도에 미치는 영향: 거부민감성으로 조절된 정신화의 매개효과

Abstract

This study aims to examine the mediation effect of mentalization in the relationship between insecure adult attachment and romantic relationship satisfaction of university students and to verify whether rejection sensitivity moderates this mediating effect. Data were collected from 352 undergraduate students who have had one or more romantic relationships. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 24.0 and PROCESS macro. The main results are as follows. First, mentalization partially mediated the relationship between anxious attachment and romantic relationship satisfaction and also between avoidant attachment and romantic relationship satisfaction. Second, rejection sensitivity significantly moderated the relationship between anxious attachment and mentalization and also between avoidant attachment and mentalization. Lastly, the mediating effect of mentalization was moderated by rejection sensitivity in the relationship between anxious attachment and romantic relationship satisfaction and also between avoidant attachment and romantic relationship satisfaction. Based on the results, it was confirmed that mentalization and low rejection sensitivity is a factor in strengthening romantic relationship satisfaction.
