摘要: 述情障碍(Alexithymia)以识别、描述情感困难及外向型思维为主要特征，与多种心身疾病和心理障碍都存在高共病率。大量研究证实，依恋焦虑与依恋回避对述情障碍的不同维度存在特异性影响：依恋焦虑主要预测了述情障碍的识别情感困难(DIF)维度，而依恋回避则更多预测了描述情感困难(DDF)与外向型思维(EOT)维度。根据依恋理论和相关文献推测，情绪调节和心智化可能是解释依恋如何影响述情障碍的两个关键心理因素。未来研究可以进一步探讨心智化和情绪调节在依恋与述情障碍中的链式中介作用，开展纵向追踪研究以确定因果关系，探讨文化调节效应，以及制定个性化的干预方案。
Abstract: Alexithymia, characterized by difficulties in identifying and describing emotions along with an externally oriented thinking style, exhibits high comorbidity rates with various psychosomatic diseases and psychological disorders. Extensive research has confirmed that attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance exert specific effects on distinct dimensions of alexithymia: attachment anxiety primarily predicts the difficulty identifying feelings (DIF) dimension, whereas attachment avoidance predominantly predicts the difficulty describing feelings (DDF) and externally oriented thinking (EOT) dimensions. Based on attachment theory and relevant literature, it is hypothesized that emotion regulation and mentalization may serve as two key psychological mechanisms explaining how attachment influences alexithymia. Future research could further explore the chain-mediating roles of mentalization and emotion regulation in the relationship between attachment and alexithymia, conduct longitudinal research to establish causal relationships, explore cultural moderating effects, and develop personalized intervention plans.
