Although earlier research had demonstrated significant links between attachment and self-concept clarity; attachment and empathy; and self-concept clarity and empathy respectively, there had been no studies examining these associations in conjunction with one another. Therefore, the present studies explored whether individual differences in self-concept clarity would mediate the relationship between attachment orientation (i.e., attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance) and empathy (i.e., empathic concern and personal distress). In Study 1, the association between attachment orientation and self-concept clarity was examined among 602 Hungarian university students. In Study 2, the relationship between attachment and empathy was investigated through self-concept clarity among 1000 Hungarian adults. The findings from both samples revealed that attachment avoidance and anxiety were negatively related to self-concept clarity. In Study 2, individuals with greater self-concept clarity showed greater empathic concern and lower personal distress. Attachment avoidance was associated with lower empathic concern, whereas there was no significant association with personal distress. Attachment anxiety was positively related to empathic concern and personal distress. Self-concept clarity partially mediated associations with attachment anxiety and aspects of empathy. These findings suggest the importance of attachment orientations in terms of their influence on the self with regard to interpersonal relations.

尽管早期的研究表明依恋和自我概念清晰之间存在显着联系；依恋和同理心；和自我概念清晰度和同理心，没有研究将这些关联相互结合起来。因此，本研究探讨了自我概念清晰度的个体差异是否会介导依恋取向（即依恋焦虑和依恋回避）和移情（即移情关注和个人痛苦）之间的关系。在研究 1 中，对 602 名匈牙利大学生的依恋取向和自我概念清晰度之间的关联进行了研究。在研究 2 中，通过对 1000 名匈牙利成年人的自我概念清晰性调查了依恋和同理心之间的关系。两个样本的研究结果表明，依恋回避和焦虑与自我概念清晰呈负相关。在研究 2 中，自我概念更清晰的人表现出更大的共情关注和更低的个人痛苦。依恋回避与较低的共情关注有关，而与个人痛苦没有显着关联。依恋焦虑与移情关注和个人痛苦呈正相关。自我概念清晰部分介导了与依恋焦虑和移情方面的关联。这些发现表明依恋取向在人际关系方面对自我的影响方面的重要性。自我概念更清晰的人表现出更大的移情关注和更低的个人痛苦。依恋回避与较低的共情关注有关，而与个人痛苦没有显着关联。依恋焦虑与移情关注和个人痛苦呈正相关。自我概念清晰部分介导了与依恋焦虑和移情方面的关联。这些发现表明依恋取向在人际关系方面对自我的影响方面的重要性。自我概念更清晰的人表现出更大的移情关注和更低的个人痛苦。依恋回避与较低的共情关注有关，而与个人痛苦没有显着关联。依恋焦虑与移情关注和个人痛苦呈正相关。自我概念清晰部分介导了与依恋焦虑和移情方面的关联。这些发现表明依恋取向在人际关系方面对自我的影响方面的重要性。自我概念清晰部分介导了与依恋焦虑和移情方面的关联。这些发现表明依恋取向在人际关系方面对自我的影响方面的重要性。自我概念清晰部分介导了与依恋焦虑和移情方面的关联。这些发现表明依恋取向在人际关系方面对自我的影响方面的重要性。
