본 연구는 대학생을 대상으로 아동기 정서적 방임과 경계선 성격특성의 관계에서 불안정 애착의 매개효과를 검증하고, 이 경로를 심리화가 조절하는지를 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 대학생 317명을 대상으로 설문 배부하여 최종 295부를 가지고 조절된 매개모형 분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 정서적 방임과 불안정 애착, 심리화, 경계선 성격특성 간에 유의미한 상관관계가 있었다. 불안정 애착의 하위 유형을 나누어 매개효과를 검증한 결과, 정서적 방임과 경계선 성격특성 간의 관계를 불안정 애착이 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 불안 애착과 경계선 성격특성의 관계에서 심리화의 조절효과가 유의미하게 나타났다. 마지막으로 정서적 방임이 불안 애착을 매개로 경계선 성격특성에 영향을 미치는 경로를 심리화가 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 심리화 수준을 높여줌으로써 아동기 정서적 방임이 불안정 애착을 매개로 경계선 성격특성에 미치는 영향을 낮출 수 있음을 의미한다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구의 의의 및 시사점과 후속 연구를 위한 제언을 논의하였다.
This study investigated whether insecure adult attachment mediates the relationship between emotional neglect and borderline personality traits, and the moderated mediation effect of mentalization. A total of 317 students completed questionnaires, with data from 295 analyzed. The analyses indicated that emotional neglect in childhood affected borderline personality traits by impacting the mediation effect of insecure attachment. Additionally, mentalization moderated the impact of attachment anxiety on borderline personality traits. Finally, mentalization had a moderated mediation effect on the relationship among emotional neglect, attachment anxiety and borderline personality traits. This implies that emotional neglect in childhood impedes the development of secure attachments and affects borderline personality traits. The results also suggest that mentalization reduces the effect of insecure attachment on borderline personality traits resulting from childhood emotional neglect. Implications, limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.
