Abstract

We examined the associations between attachment anxiety, attachment avoidance, and attachment to group (to Israel) and mental health scores. The study used a community sample of 434 participants in response to the October 7th attack on Israel. Additionally, we explored the potential mechanisms linking these attachment patterns to mental health scores. We focused on emotion regulation strategies, such as task-focused, emotion-focused, and distance-focused strategies, as potential mediators. The results indicated that the negative direct association between attachment anxiety and mental health is fully mediated by a high emotion-focused strategy and a low task-focused strategy. Attachment avoidance did not have a significant direct association with mental health scores. However, it had significant negative indirect associations through a high emotion-focused strategy and a low task-focused strategy. Attachment to the group (to Israel) showed both direct and indirect positive associations with mental health through a low emotion-focused strategy and a high task-focused strategy. The discussion highlights the role of internal representations of insecure attachment, group attachment, and emotion regulation strategies (especially emotion- and task-focused strategies) in how highly stressful external situations affect mental health.

以色列 10 月 7 日袭击事件后成人依恋模式、对群体的依恋与心理健康之间的关系:情绪调节策略的作用》。
我们研究了依恋焦虑、依恋回避和对群体(以色列)的依恋与心理健康评分之间的关系。这项研究使用了一个由 434 名参与者组成的社区样本,以回应 10 月 7 日对以色列的袭击。此外,我们还探索了将这些依恋模式与心理健康评分联系起来的潜在机制。我们重点研究了作为潜在中介因素的情绪调节策略,如以任务为中心的策略、以情绪为中心的策略和以距离为中心的策略。结果表明,依恋焦虑与心理健康之间的负向直接关联完全由高情感关注策略和低任务关注策略所调节。依恋回避与心理健康得分没有显著的直接联系。然而,它通过高情感焦点策略和低任务焦点策略产生了明显的负间接关联。对群体(以色列)的依恋则通过低情感集中策略和高任务集中策略与心理健康表现出直接和间接的正相关。讨论强调了不安全依恋的内部表征、群体依恋和情绪调节策略(尤其是以情绪和任务为中心的策略)在高度紧张的外部环境如何影响心理健康方面的作用。
