ABSTRACT

In this study of 624 adult participants from the general population (i.e., a community sample), we examine adult disorganized attachment, a construct that can now be measured on a self-report scale, and its linkage between child abuse to dissociation. Prior research has demonstrated that child abuse is positively associated with adult disorganized attachment, which in turn is linked to a variety of externalizing and internalizing behaviors (e.g., depression, anxiety) in adulthood. Based on the literature regarding self-concept, we further consider that having an integrated sense of self is crucial in examining how having an adult disorganized attachment could result in dissociative symptoms. We consider two measures representing an unintegrated sense of self – self-concept clarity and reflective functioning – and find that both play a role in moderating the mediating effects of adult disorganized attachment. Specifically, lower levels of clarity were associated with higher levels of dissociation in our sample, and reflective functioning played a more nuanced and complex role in examining moderated mediation in our sample. Overall, using moderated mediation analysis, we found support for our hypotheses.

从虐待儿童到解离的联系:成人无序依恋,自我概念清晰和反思性功能的作用

摘要

在对来自普通人群(即社区样本)的624位成人参与者的研究中,我们研究了成人杂乱无章的依恋,一种可以在自我报告量表上衡量的结构及其在虐待儿童与解散之间的联系。先前的研究表明,虐待儿童与成年人杂乱无章的依恋成正相关,而依恋又与成年后的各种外在化和内在化行为(例如抑郁,焦虑)有关。基于有关自我概念的文献,我们进一步认为,具有完整的自我意识对于检查成年人杂乱无章的依恋如何导致分离症状至关重要。我们考虑了两种代表着自我的完整感的量度,即自我概念的清晰度和反思性的功能,并且发现两者均在调节成人杂乱无章的依恋的中介作用中起作用。具体而言,较低的清晰度与样品中较高的离解水平相关,并且反射功能在检查样品中的适度调解中起着更细微而复杂的作用。总体而言,使用温和的调解分析,我们发现了支持我们假设的证据。
