依恋理论是由Bowlby(1980)发展起来的,旨在探索人类与重要他人建立强烈情感纽带的倾向,并解释当这些关系被破坏时所经历的不同形式的情绪困扰。成人依恋的概念常被用于心理干预的实证研究中。其中一个显著增加幸福感的干预措施是正念。正念减少了环境被判断为积极或消极的程度。因此,正念可能会降低由威胁感引发的工作模型被激活的程度。为了量化正念对幸福感的影响,目前的研究探讨了成人依恋,幸福感和正念之间的关系。参与者(N = 165)完成了一项在线调查,其中包括亲密关系经验修订问卷(ECR-R),Friedberg正念量表(FMI-14)和抑郁焦虑压力量表简表(DASS-21)。结果表明,幸福感,抑郁,焦虑和压力的措施进行评估,与个人的依恋风格密切相关。然而,只有依恋焦虑对幸福感具有预测能力。此外,研究结果表明,正念是一个显着的调节关系,正念减少不安全的依恋对幸福感的影响。(C)2016爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有
Attachment theory was developed by Bowlby (1980) to explore the propensity of humans to make strong affectional bonds with significant others and to explain the different forms of emotional distress experienced when these relationships are disrupted. The concept of adult attachment is commonly employed in empirical studies of psychological interventions. One such intervention that significantly increases wellbeing is mindfulness. Mindfulness diminishes the extent to which circumstances are judged as positive or negative. Therefore, mindfulness might decrease the extent to which working models, primed by feelings of threat, are activated. To quantify what effect mindfulness has on wellbeing, the current study explored the relationship between adult attachment, wellbeing and mindfulness. Participants (N = 165) completed an online survey which included the Experiences in Close Relationships Revised Questionnaire (ECR-R), the Friedberg Mindfulness Inventory (FMI-14) and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale short form (DASS-21). Results indicated that wellbeing, assessed by measures of depression, anxiety and stress, was strongly associated with an individual's attachment style. However, only attachment anxiety showed a predictive capacity on wellbeing. Furthermore, the results indicate that mindfulness is a significant moderator in the relationship, with mindfulness diminishing the effect of insecure attachment on wellbeing. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
