Abstract
The aim of the study was to identify ethnic characteristics of attachment and associated with them psychological defense mechanisms (PDM) in European and Asian populations. Materials and methods: 115 healthy volunteers (33 men and 82 women) were randomly selected (average age was 21 (SD= 5.47) years), 60 of them were representatives of European culture (residents of Central Russia), 55 people were representatives of Asian culture (citizens of Central Asia). The study used 2 methods: 1) the method “Life style index" (LSI) developed by Plutchek-Kellerman; 2) method "Self-assessment of generalized type of attachment". Results: representatives of the Asian population were found to have a large representation of the preoccupied type of attachment (8% vs. 15%, p=0.019). There were no statistically significant correlations between PDM and attachment type in the Asian population. Representatives of the European population: the pattern of Secure type of attachment is negatively correlated with indicators of psychological protection according to the type of reactive education (rs=-0,307, p=0.017), indicators preoccupied pattern of attachment is positively correlated with three indicators of psychological defense mechanisms: regression (rs=0,324, p=0.012), compensation (rs=0,258, p=0,047), projection (rs=0,313, p=0.015); indicators of pseudoauthonomus type of attachment is negatively correlated with indicators of psychological protection by type of compensation (rs=-0,265, p=0,041); from disoriented - is negatively correlated with denial (rs=-0,404, p=0.001) and intelligence (rs=0,354, p=0,034) and positively with the projection (rs=-0,274, p=0.005). Comparing the two samples revealed statistically significant differences in the intensity of psychological defenses-intellectualization (p=0.004) and reactive formation (p=0.014) were more pronounced in the Asian population.
