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.

从虐待儿童到分离的联系:成人无组织依恋、自我概念清晰度和反思功能的作用

摘要

在这项对来自一般人群(即社区样本)的 624 名成年参与者的研究中,我们检查了成人无组织依恋,一种现在可以在自我报告量表上衡量的结构,以及它在虐待儿童与分离之间的联系。先前的研究表明,虐待儿童与成人杂乱无章的依恋呈正相关,而后者又与成年期的各种外化和内化行为(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,拥有综合的自我意识对于检查成年人的无组织依恋如何导致分离症状至关重要。我们考虑了两种代表未整合的自我意识的措施——自我概念清晰度和反思功能——并发现两者都在调节成人无组织依恋的中介作用中发挥作用。具体来说,在我们的样本中,较低的清晰度与较高的分离水平相关,而反思功能在检查我们样本中的调节调解时发挥了更微妙和复杂的作用。总体而言,使用适度的中介分析,我们发现支持我们的假设。
