Moreover, the mediation effect of mentalization in the relationship between attachment and emotion dysregulation is analyzed. A sample composed of 607 participants taken from the Spanish general population completed the measures in a cross-sectional designed study. The results show that secure attachment is negatively related to emotion dysregulation dimensions, whereas insecure attachment styles show a positive correlation. Furthermore, the mentalization variables are in general significantly related to emotion dysregulation. The mediation model shows a large mediational effect size (f2 = 2.64). The results suggest that mentalization significantly mediates the relationship between emotion dysregulation and preoccupation, self-sufficiency, and childhood trauma. These results have important implications, as they indicate that clinical interventions on mentalization should reduce emotion dysregulation even in those people with a predominant insecure attachment style. date: 2021-03 publication: Scandinavian Journal of Psychology volume: 62 number: 3 pagerange: 312-320 id_number: doi:10.1111/sjop.12717 refereed: TRUE issn: 0036-5564 official_url: http://doi.org/10.1111/sjop.12717 access: close language: en citation: Artículo Materias > Psicología Universidad Europea del Atlántico > Investigación > Producción Científica Cerrado Inglés The current study aims to explore the relationship between attachment styles, mentalization and emotion dysregulation.
