본 연구의 목적은 애착과 조력행동 간의 관계에 대한 기존연구를 토대로 하여, 청소년의 불안, 회피애착과 이타성 및 학교폭력 방관·방어행동 간의 관계를 확인하고, 애착차원과 학교폭력 방관·방어행동 간의 관계를 이타성이 매개하는지를 검증하는 것이었다. 이를 위해 서울, 경기지역 소재 중학교 3곳의 2, 3학년 741명을 대상으로 자료를 수집하였다. 수집한 자료를 바탕으로 연구변인 간 상관관계를 살펴보고, 이타성이 불안, 회피애착과 학교폭력 방관, 방어행동 간의 관계를 매개하는 구조방정식 모형을 설정한 후 이 모형의 적합도를 검증하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 상관분석에서 불안애착과 회피애착이 높을수록 방관행동이 높아졌으며 방어행동은 낮아졌다. 둘째, 이타성이 높을수록 방관행동은 낮아지고 방어행동은 높아졌다. 그리고 불안 및 회피애착이 높을수록 이타성이 낮았다. 셋째, 구조방정식 모형 분석에서 회피애착이 높을수록 이타성이 낮아지고 이에 따라 방관행동은 높아지고 방어행동은 낮아지는 간접효과가 뚜렷하였다. 반면 불안애착의 경우, 불안애착이 높을수록 방관행동은 높아지고 방어행동이 감소하는 직접효과와 불안애착이 높아질 때 이타성이 높아져서 방관·방어행동에 영향을 주는 매개효과가 동시에 나타났다. 마지막으로 주요 결과의 의의와 연구의 제한점에 대해 논의하였다.


The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between adolescent’s anxious and avoidant attachment and outsider and defending behavior in school bullying, and further to investigate the mediating effect of altruism on the relationship between attachment and outsider and defending behavior in school bullying, based on the previous research on the relationship between attachment and helping behavior. The participants were 741 students who were the 2nd or 3rd grade from 3 middle schools located in Seoul and Gyeonggi area. Based on collected data, we examined the relationship between variables and specified a model of SEM which showed a mediating effect of altruism on the relationship between anxious and avoidant attachment and outsider and defending behavior in school bullying and tested whether the hypothesized model fits the collected data. The results of this study are as follows. First, an anxious and an avoidant attachment was correlated positively with outsider behavior and negatively with defending behavior. Second, altruism is correlated negatively with outsider behavior and positively with defending behavior. In addition, an anxious attachment and an avoidant attachment were negatively correlated with altruism. Third, with a Structural Equation Modeling, the results showed that more avoidant attachment was associated with less altruism, which had a positive indirect effect on outsider behavior and a negative indirect effect on defending behavior. On the other hand, as for an anxious attachment, anxious attachment had a positive direct effect on outsider behavior and a negative direct effect on defending behavior. Additionally, there was a mediating effect of altruism on the relationship between outsider behavior and defending behavior. We discussed the implications and limitations of this study for future research based on these findings.
