본 연구는 이성교제중인 248쌍을 대상으로 성인 초기 미혼 남녀의 불안 및 회피 애착과 관계 만족의 관계를 자신이 상대방에게 표현하는 ‘주는 감사’와 상대방의 감사를 느끼는 ‘받는 감사’ 각각이 매개하는지 살펴보았다. 연인 간 상호작용을 규명하기 위해 자기-상대방 상호의존 모형을 적용하여 감사가 성인 애착과 관계 만족의 관계를 매개하는 구조모형을 설정하고, 모형의 적합도 및 변인들의 직간접효과를 검증했다. 주는 감사 최종 모형 검증 결과, 상대방의 불안 애착과 자신의 관계 만족의 관계를 자신의 주는 감사가 남성은 완전 매개 그리고 여성은 부분 매개했다. 남녀 모두 자신의 회피 애착과 관계 만족의 관계를 자신의 주는 감사가 부분 매개했다. 받는 감사 최종 모형 검증 결과, 자신의 불안 애착과 관계 만족의 관계를 자신의 받는 감사가 남성은 완전 매개 그리고 여성은 부분 매개했다. 남녀 모두 자신의 회피 애착과 관계 만족의 관계를 자신의 받는 감사가 부분 매개했다. 또한, 남녀 모두 상대방의 회피 애착과 자신의 관계 만족의 관계를 자신의 받는 감사가 완전 매개했다. 연구 결과의 의의 및 함의와 추후 연구를 위한 제언을 논의에 포함했다.
The purpose of this study was to test mediating effects of “appreciative” and “appreciated” on the relation between attachment insecurities and relationship satisfaction in a sample of 248 young adult heterosexual couples. Also, we investigated how appreciative and appreciated mediated based on Actor-Partner Interdependence Model. First, men’s anxious attachment and women’s satisfaction were partially mediated by women’s appreciative, and women’s anxious attachment and men’s satisfaction were fully mediated by men’s appreciative. The link between own avoidant attachment and satisfaction was partially mediated by one’s appreciative. Second, men’s anxious attachment and satisfaction were fully mediated by men’s own appreciated, and women’s anxious attachment and satisfaction were partially mediated by women’s own appreciated. The link between own avoidant attachment and satisfaction was partially mediated by one’s appreciated. Lastly, own appreciated fully mediate the relation between partner’s avoidant attachment and own satisfaction. Implications for counseling practice and suggestions for future research are discussed.
