Bağlanma boyutları, otobiyografi k bellek ve geçmişi kabul etme

Bu araştırmanın amacı bağlanma boyutları (kaygı ve kaçınma), otobiyografi k bellek ve geçmişi kabul etme arasındaki ilişkileri incelemektir. Otobiyografi k belleğin duyuşsal yönlerini ağırlıkla bağlanma kaygısı boyutunun, bilişsel yönlerini ise bağlanma kaçınma boyutunun yordayacağı öngörülmüştür. Araştırmaya 222 (127 kadın, 95 erkek) üniversite öğrencisi katılmıştır. Bağlanma kaygısı, kaçınması ve otobiyografi k bellek arasındaki ilişkiler hatırlanan otobiyografi k anıların fenomenolojik özellikleri bağlamında değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular bağlanma kaygısının duygusal anılara verilen fi ziksel tepkileri, anının ne canlılıkta anımsandığını, olumsuz duygu değerini ve otobiyografi k belleğin sosyal bileşenini yordadığını göstermiştir. Ayrıca geçmişi kabul etmeyi sadece bağlanma kaygısının yordadığı bulunmuştur. Yeniden yaşıyormuş duygusunu ise bağlanma kaçınma boyutu yordamıştır. Bağlanma kaygısı ve kaçınmasının ortak etkisinin anının kişinin hayatına özgü oluşu, canlılığı ve sosyal içerikli özellikleri üzerinde yordayıcı etkisi bulunmuştur. Bu ortak etki incelendiğinde, korkulu bağlanmaya sahip kişilerin, hatırlanan anıların özgünlüğü/genelliği, canlılığı ve sosyal bileşeninde kayıtsız bağlanmaya sahip olanlardan daha yüksek puanlar aldıkları gözlenmiştir. Bulgular, bağlanma kaçınma boyutunun görece zayıf bir etkiye sahipken bağlanma kaygısının otobiyografi k belleğin duyuşsal özellikleri üzerinde tutarlı bir etkiye sahip olduğuna işaret etmektedir.

Attachment factors, autobiographical memory and accepting the past

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the relationships between attachment dimensions (i.e., attachment anxiety and avoidance), autobiographical memory, and accepting the past. University students (N = 222, women = 127, men = 95) participated to the study. The relationships between attachment anxiety, avoidance, and autobiographical memory were examined within the context of the phenomenological properties of the autobiographical memory. Results revealed that attachment anxiety signifi cantly predicted visceral reactions, vividness, negative valence, and social aspect of autobiographical memory. Results also indicated that attachment anxiety was a reliable predictor of accepting the past. Attachment avoidance signifi cantly predicted recollection. Furthermore, the interaction between attachment anxiety and avoidance signifi cantly predicted specifi city, vividness, and social aspect of autobiographical memories. The patterns of the interaction effect suggested that those with fearful attachment pattern reported higher levels of specifi city, vividness, and social components of the recalled memories than those with dismissive attachment. Findings indicated that attachment anxiety, but not avoidance, has a consistent effect on the affective aspects of autobiographical memor
