While interpersonal communication has been widely examined in the language-learning area, the role of attachment anxiety in shaping foreign language anxiety (FLA) and learners’ second-language willingness to communicate (L2WTC) remains insufficiently understood. This study investigated the relationship among attachment anxiety, FLA, and L2WTC in 193 college students using structural equation modelling. The structural equation modelling results indicated that: (1) higher attachment anxiety predicted greater perceived FLA and lower L2WTC; and (2) FLA significantly mediated the relationship between attachment anxiety and L2WTC. These findings highlight attachment anxiety as an important individual-difference factor in L2 communication and learning. They also suggest that interventions to enhance L2 participation may be more effective when they explicitly target learners’ underlying emotional and psychological vulnerabilities.

許多研究已探討人際溝通在語言學習中的作用，但依戀焦慮對外語焦慮以及個體參與溝通意願的具體影響，仍相對缺乏深入研究。本研究旨在以193名大學生為樣本，探討依戀焦慮、外語焦慮與第二語言溝通意願之間的關係。結構方程模型結果顯示：（1）依戀焦慮程度越高，個體感受到的外語焦慮越強，且第二語言溝通意願越低；（2）外語焦慮在依戀焦慮與第二語言溝通意願之間具有中介作用。這些發現凸顯依戀焦慮在塑造語言習得與溝通行為中的關鍵角色。本研究亦有助於深化我們對「心理特質個別差異如何影響語言學習結果」的理解，並指出有必要發展更具針對性的介入策略，以處理第二語言有效溝通背後的情緒與心理障礙。
