Abstract

Objective: This study aimed at examining the relations among adult attachment patterns, interpersonal problem solving behaviors, and psychological symptoms. Moreover, the study intended to test the mediating role of interpersonal problem solving behaviors on the relationship between attachment and psychological symptoms. Methods: In accordance with this purpose, ‘Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory’, ‘Interpersonal Prob- lem Solving Inventory’, and ‘Brief Symptom Inventory’ had been administered to 458 Hacettepe University under- graduate students. Results: Results showed that the anxious attachment styles had effects on ineffective inter- personal problem solving behaviors; and the avoidant attachment styles not only had effects on lacking of self- confidence and unwillingness to take responsibility in interpersonal problem solving situations but also had nega- tive effects on effective problem solving behaviors. Moreover, it’s seen that both avoidant and anxious attachment styles and approaching problems in a negative way and lacking of self-confidence from ineffective problem solving behaviors had effects on psychological symptoms. Last of all, the mediating role of lacking of self- confidence between avoidant attachment patterns and psychological symptoms, and the mediating roles of approaching problems in a negative way and lacking of self-confidence between anxious attachment patterns and psychological symptoms had been supported. Discussion: Based on these results, the importance of striving to replace insecure attachment patterns with secure patterns and development of effective problem solving skills in the therapies of clients with interpersonal relationship problems or psychological symptoms had been emphasized.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, yetişkinlerin bağlanma yönelimleri, kişilerarası problem çözme davranışları ve yaşadıkları ruhsal belirtiler arasındaki ilişkilerinin incelenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Ayrıca, bağlanmayla ruhsal belirtiler arasındaki ilişkide kişilerarası problem çözme davranışlarının aracı rolünün test edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Bu amaçla Hacettepe Üniversitesinde 458 lisans öğrencisine ‘Yakın İlişkilerde Yaşantılar Envanteri, ‘Kişilerarası Problem Çözme Envanteri ve ‘Kısa Semptom Envanteri uygulanmıştır. Sonuçlar: Elde edilen bulgulara göre, güvensiz bağlanmaya işaret eden kaygılı bağlanma örüntülerinin etkili olmayan kişilerarası problem çözme davranışları üzerinde etkili olduğu, kaçınmacı bağlanma örüntülerinin ise hem kişilerarası problemlerin çözümünde kendine güvensiz ve sorumluluk almayan yaklaşımlar üzerinde etkili olduğu, hem de etkili problem çözme davranışlarını olumsuz yönde etkilediği görülmüştür. Ayrıca hem kaçınmacı ve kaygılı bağlanmanın, hem de etkili olmayan prob- lem çözme davranışlarından probleme olumsuz yaklaşma ve kendine güvensiz yaklaşımın ruhsal belirtiler üzerin- de etkili olduğu saptanmıştır. Son olarak, kaçınmacı bağlanma ile ruhsal belirtiler arasındaki ilişkide kendine güvensiz yaklaşımın, kaygılı bağlanma ile ruhsal belirtiler arasındaki ilişkide ise probleme olumsuz yaklaşma ve kendine güvensiz yaklaşımın kısmi aracı rollerine ilişkin kanıtlar sağlanmıştır. Tartışma: Bu ilişkilerden yola çıkılarak, kişilerarası ilişki problemleriyle veya ruhsal belirtilerle danışmaya gelen danışanların tedavilerinde var olan güvensiz bağlanma örüntülerinin yerine güvenli bağlanma örüntüleri oluşturulmasının ve bu kişilere etkili problem çözme becerileri kazandırılmasının önemi vurgulanmıştır.
