대학생의 부모와의 불안정애착이 연인 간 친밀감에 대한 두려움에 미치는 영향: 거부민감성과 연인 지지의 조절된 매개효과

초록

The purpose of this study was to examine the moderated mediation effects of rejection sensitivity and partner support in the relationship between insecure attachment to parents and fear of intimacy in romantic relationships among college students, and to investigate whether these effects differed by gender. Participants were 309 college students enrolled in universities in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. Data were analyzed using SPSS 29.0 and Model 14 of the PROCESS macro 4.2. The results indicated that insecure attachment to parents had an indirect effect on fear of intimacy through rejection sensitivity. Among female students, higher levels of partner support weakened the association between rejection sensitivity and fear of intimacy. Specifically, higher levels of insecure attachment to parents were associated with greater rejection sensitivity, which in turn was associated with greater fear of intimacy; however, among female students, partner support significantly weakened this association. This study contributes to a more detailed understanding of the psychological process through which insecure attachment to parents is associated with fear of intimacy and suggests that partner support may serve as a protective factor in this process. Furthermore, the findings highlight the need for gender-sensitive counseling and educational interventions aimed at reducing fear of intimacy among college students.
