This study investigated whether the Abandonment schema mediates the relationship between a history of parental separation or divorce and attachment styles in adulthood. Participants (N = 426; M = 30.78 years) completed online measures, using Qualtrics. Results demonstrated that a history of parental separation or divorce was positively associated with anxious and avoidant attachment styles in adulthood. Mediation analyses revealed that the Abandonment schema mediated these relationships (p < 0.001). This suggests that adults with a history of parental divorce or separation are more likely to report anxious and avoidant attachment styles, and this is partially accounted for by an expectation that they will be abandoned by others. These findings have implications for case formulation and can be used to inform treatment. Schema therapy focused on healing the Abandonment schema could promote attachment security in individuals with a history of parental separation or divorce. For example, limited reparenting (i.e., the therapist seeking to meet the client's unmet emotional needs, within the professional boundaries of the relationship), could be tailored to address the individual's underlying unmet need for security and stability. Further research is needed to advance our understanding of the implications of these findings for treatment.
本研究调查了遗弃图式是否介导了父母离异或分居史与成年期依恋风格之间的关系。参与者（N = 426；M = 30.78岁）使用Qualtrics完成了在线测量。结果表明，父母离异或分居史与成年期的焦虑和回避型依恋风格呈正相关。中介分析显示，遗弃图式介导了这些关系（p < 0.001）。这表明有父母离异或分居史的成年人更有可能报告焦虑和回避型依恋风格，部分原因是他们预期会被他人抛弃。这些发现对病例形成有影响，可用于指导治疗。专注于治愈遗弃图式的图式疗法可以促进有父母离异或分居史的个体的依恋安全感。例如，有限的再养育（即治疗师在专业关系范围内寻求满足客户未得到满足的情感需求）可以进行调整，以满足个体对安全和稳定的潜在未得到满足的需求。需要进一步的研究来加深我们对这些发现对治疗的影响的理解。
