The “Internal Working Model,” a Key Concept in Bowlby’s Attachment Theory, Research Trend Analysis in Korea

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the current status of domestic research on the “internal working model(IWM)”of attachment formed by interactions between mother and child in the early stages of life, and to suggest directions for future research. The papers published in domestic journals from 1991 to 2021 on the topic of IWM of attachment were searched by RISS and Google scholar. And selected 35 papers among them. As a result of the analysis, by the samples of the study, the majority of research papers were 9 papers (34.6%) out of 26 papers targeting 20-year-olds and college students followed by 4 papers each targeting mothers and mother-child pairs (15%). And by subjects the study between the IWM of the primary caregiver and the IWM of mothers and children by the developmental period of their children showed the highest frequency with a total of 14 studies (40.0%). By research methods, 20 quantitative studies (57%) and 15 qualitative studies (43%), were relatively balanced. As for future research directions, the study participants are expanded to include the elderly, and the subject also suggests a study on the relationship between attachment type and death anxiety.
