Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the moderated mediating effect of social support through resilience on the relationship between the attachment of divorced women and post-divorce Growth. 176 women in their 20s to 60s participated in the study. The data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0. The results were as follows. First, anxiety attachment and avoidance attachment negatively affected resilience, social support, and post-divorce Growth. And resilience and social support positively affected on post-divorce Growth. Second, resilience fully mediated the relationship between anxiety attachment and post-divorce Growth, while avoidance attachment and post-divorce Growth were partially mediated. Third, social support adjusted the relationship between resilience and post-divorce Growth. Fourth, anxiety attachment and avoidance attachment showed a controlled mediating effect of social support through resilience in the post-divorce Growth relationship. Based on the findings, the limitations of the study and suggestions for future research were discussed.
