This study investigated whether the Abandonment schema mediates the relationship between a history of parental separation or divorce and attachment styles in adulthood. Participants (N = 426; M^age = 30.78 years) completed online measures, using Qualtrics. Results demonstrated that a history of parental separation or divorce was positively associated with anxious and avoidant attachment styles in adulthood. Mediation analyses revealed that the Abandonment schema mediated these relationships (p < 0.001). This suggests that adults with a history of parental divorce or separation are more likely to report anxious and avoidant attachment styles, and this is partially accounted for by an expectation that they will be abandoned by others. These findings have implications for case formulation and can be used to inform treatment. Schema therapy focused on healing the Abandonment schema could promote attachment security in individuals with a history of parental separation or divorce. For example, limited reparenting (i.e., the therapist seeking to meet the client's unmet emotional needs, within the professional boundaries of the relationship), could be tailored to address the individual's underlying unmet need for security and stability. Further research is needed to advance our understanding of the implications of these findings for treatment.

父母分居或离婚与成年依恋：遗弃图式的中介作用

本研究调查了遗弃图式是否介导了父母分居或离婚史与成年期依恋风格之间的关系。参与者（N  = 426；M^年龄 = 30.78 岁）使用Qualtrics完成在线测量。结果表明，父母分居或离婚的历史与成年期的焦虑和回避依恋风格呈正相关。中介分析表明，放弃图式中介了这些关系（p < 0.001)。这表明有父母离婚或分居史的成年人更有可能报告焦虑和回避的依恋风格，这部分是由于他们会被他人抛弃的期望。这些发现对病例制定有影响，可用于指导治疗。专注于治愈遗弃图式的图式疗法可以促进有父母分居或离婚史的个体的依恋安全性。例如，有限的再养育（即，治疗师在关系的专业范围内寻求满足来访者未满足的情感需求）可以定制以解决个人对安全和稳定的潜在未满足需求。
