不安全依附與負向情感、人際問題：自我寬恕與寬恕他人的中介作用

The Relationship Between Insecure Attachment Styles, Negative Affect and Interpersonal Problems: The Mediating Role of Forgiveness of Self and of Others

本研究目的在於探索自我寬恕與寬恕他人在不安全依附與負向情感、人際問題關係中所扮演的重要角色，作為日後得以協助不安全依附者减少負向情感與人際問題的研究依據。以問卷研究法蒐集370位大學在校學生進行假設檢驗，並控制可能的共同方法變異，結果發現：一、焦慮依附與自我寬恕的負向關聯，顯著高於迴避依附與自我寬恕的負向關聯；二、相較於寬恕他人，自我寬恕與人際問題有較高的負向關聯；三、寬恕他人能夠中介焦慮依附與人際問題間的正向關係。本研究結果指出一項改善不安全依附負向影響的可能中介途徑，並針對研究限制與未來研究方向提出可能的建議。

Based on attachment theory, anxious and avoidance styles might relate to self- and other-forgiveness differently and is worthy of further investigation. Thus, this study investigated the role of forgiveness in insecure attachment styles and negative affect and interpersonal problem relations. Three hundred seventy undergraduate students were surveyed and after controlling the potential effect of common method variances the results showed that: 1. In contrast to the relationship between avoidance styles and self-forgiveness, anxious styles had a higher negative association with self-forgiveness; 2. Self-forgiveness had a higher negative association with interpersonal problems than the relationship between other-forgiveness and interpersonal problems; 3. Other-forgiveness could mediate the relationship between anxious styles and interpersonal problems. The results showed supportive evidence for the important role of forgiveness in insecurely attached individuals. The study also discussed limitations and future directions.
