본 연구는 애착유형과 신체화의 관계에서 자기개념변인의 매개효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 대상은 성인남녀 147명(남 61명, 여 86명)을 대상으로 분석하였다. 애착유형 중 불안애착을 가진 사람들이 신체화 호소를 많이 하는 것으로 나타나, 불안애착과 신체화의 관계에서 자기개념변인들의 매개효과를 조사하였다. 그 결과 정서적 안정성 요인이 이 두 개념을 완전매개하는 변인으로 나타나 불안애착은 정서안정성을 통해서 신체화 현상이 증가되는 것이 시사되었다. 이외에도 대인신뢰감, 자기존중감, 문제해결, 자기개념총합이 부분적으로 매개하는 것으로 나타나, 불안 애착과 자아개념, 신체화의 관련성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 제한점과 후속연구에 대한 제안이 논의되었다.
