대인관계 외상을 경험한 대학생의 부모애착과 외상 후 성장의 관계에 관한 연구: 감사와 인지적 유연성의 매개효과를 중심으로 = The Study on a Relationship Between Parent Attachment and Post-traumatic Growth in University Students Who Had Experienced Interpersonal Trauma: Focusing on the Mediating Effects of Gratitude and Cognitive Flexibility

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Secure parent attachment has a close relationship to post-traumatic growth. This study was designed to give an answer to the question what mechanisms can explain this relationship. In other words, the main purpose of this study was to verify a hypothesis that university students‘ gratitude and cognitive flexibility will mediate the relationship between parent attachment and post-traumatic growth. For this purpose, Parent Attachment Scale, Gratitude Scale, Cognitive Flexibility Scale, and Post-traumatic Growth Scale were administered to 338 men and women who had experienced interpersonal trauma. The results were as follows; First, the mediating effect of cognitive flexibility was not statistically significant in the relationship between parent attachment and post-traumatic growth, while the mediating effect of gratitude was statistically significant. Second, the sequential mediating effect of gratitude and cognitive flexibility was statistically significant in the relationship between parent attachment and post-traumatic growth. Lastly, gratitude and cognitive flexibility partially mediated the relationship between parent attachment and post-traumatic growth. This study emphasizes the importance of developing secure parent attachment to increase the level of post-traumatic growth after interpersonal trauma. In addition, this study suggests that secure parent attachment can increase gratitude, and gratitude can promote cognitive flexibility, and finally, this process can lead clients to post-traumatic growth.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

부모와의 안정적인 애착은 외상 후 성장과 밀접한 관련을 맺고 있는바, 본 연구에서는 어떠한 기제에 의해 이 두 변인의 관계를 설명할 수 있는지 살펴보기 위해 대인관계 외상을 경험한 대학생의 부모애착과 외상 후 성장의 관계에서 감사와 인지적 유연성의 매개효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 대인관계 외상 경험이 있는 대학생 338(남 159명, 여 179명)명의 자료를 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 부모애착과 외상 후 성장의 관계에서 인지적 유연성의 단순매개효과는 유의하지 않았으며, 감사의 단순매개효과는 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 이어서 부모애착과 외상 후 성장의 관계에서 감사와 인지적 유연성의 순차적인 매개효과를 검증한 결과 통계적으로 유의하였으며, 부분매개모형이 지지되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 부모애착이 외상 후 성장에 이르는 기제를 경험적으로 밝힘으로써, 대인관계 외상을 경험한 후에 외상 후 성장을 경험할 가능성을 증가시키기 위해서는 우선적으로 부모와 안정적인 애착을 형성하는 것이 중요하다는 점을 확인하였다. 또한, 안정적인 부모애착은 감사하는 능력을 증진시키고, 증가된 감사성향은 인지적 유연성을 확대하여 외상 이후에도 개인으로 하여금 성장할 수 있도록 기여함을 시사하는 것으로 나타났다.
