Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between adult attachment dimensions and different types of psychopathologies. One hundred and four individuals who were diagnosed with depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or panic disorder; and 77 individuals who were not diagnosed with a psychopathology (i.e., control group) participated in the study. Participants completed self-report measures of adult attachment. All three disorder groups reported higher attachment anxiety as compared to the control group. Moreover, patients diagnosed with depression reported higher avoidant attachment as compared to the other disorder groups. A discriminant function analysis was conducted to test if adult attachment dimensions discriminate among different disorder groups and the control group. First function, which was defined by attachment anxiety, discriminated the control group from the three psychopathology groups and the second function, which was defined by attachment avoidance, discriminated the depression group from the other groups. These findings indicate that high attachment anxiety and avoidance emerge as risk factors to develop psychopathology. Possible mechanisms mediating the link between adult attachment and psychopathology are discussed in light of findings of the current study and cultural factors.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı yetişkin bağlanma boyutlarının farklı psikopatoloji türleri ile ilişkisini Türk örnekleminde incelemektir. Çalışmaya depresyon, obsesif-kompulsif bozukluk (OKB) ve panik bozukluk (PB) tanısı konulan 104 kişi ile herhangi bir psikopatoloji tanısı konmayan 77 kişi katılmıştır. Katılımcıların yetişkin bağlanma stilleri özbildirim yoluyla ölçülmüştür. Bağlanma kaygısı ve kaçınma boyutları üzerinde yapılan karşılaştırmalarda her üç klinik grubun da kontrol grubundan anlamlı olarak yüksek düzeylerde bağlanma kaygısı rapor ettikleri bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, depresyon tanısı alanların OKB ve PB tanısı alanlardan daha yüksek düzeyde bağlanma kaçınması bildirdikleri bulunmuştur. Grupların temel bağlanma boyutlarında ne oranda ayrıştıklarını görmek amacıyla yapılan ayırdedici fonksiyon analizinde, kaygı ile tanımlanan birinci fonksiyonda kontrol grubunun diğer bütün psikopatoloji gruplarından ayrıldığı, kaçınma ile tanımlanan ikinci fonksiyonda da depresyon grubunun diğer gruplardan ayrıldığı görülmüştür. Bağlanmaya ilişkin kaygı ve kaçınma psikopatolojiye yatkınlık bakımından bir risk faktörü olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Çalışma bulguları ışığında ve kültürel faktörler dikkate alınarak yetişkinlikte bağlanma ile psikopatoloji arasındaki olası ilişkiler tartışılmıştır.
