本研究主要目的在了解不同背景變項之成人的依附風格、寬恕態度的差異，傷害事件因素對於寬恕態度的影響，進一步瞭解依附風格與寬恕態度間的相關情形，並探究依附風格對寬恕態度得分的預測情形。
本研究有316 位參與者（男性100位，女性216位），年齡在20歲以上並曾在至少維持半年的親密關係中被伴侶傷害，以性別、年齡、職業、教育程度、婚姻狀態、有無宗教信仰、自覺身心健康狀況與戀情維持時間為背景變項，採問卷調查法進行資料蒐集。研究工具為信效度良好的「人際依附風格量表」與「恩萊寬恕量表」，根據問卷調查所得到的資料，以描述統計、獨立樣本t考驗、單因子變異數分析、皮爾森積差相關、逐步迴歸等統計分析進行資料整理。
茲將本研究的主要發現分述如下：
一、 成人在依附風格會因年齡、婚姻狀態、教育程度、職業、宗教、自覺身心健康狀況的不同而有顯著差異。
二、 寬恕態度不會因宗教、自覺身心健康狀態的不同而有差異；而不同性別、年齡、職業、婚姻狀態、教育程度、戀情時間方面的成人在寬恕態度上有顯著差異。
三、 在人際依附風格與寬恕態度相關方面，安全依附與寬恕的情感向度、行為向度、認知向度均呈正相關，不安全依附與寬恕情感向度、行為向度、認知向度則呈負相關。
四、 在傷害事件的因素中，事件發生的時間與寬恕態度無顯著差異，而在傷害程度、傷害對象、與傷害對象關係類型在寬恕態度的三向度均達到顯著差異。
五、 受傷害的程度對於能有效預測寬恕態度的情感、行為與認知三向度得分，當受傷害程度愈大時其寬恕態度三向度之得分愈低。
六、 人際依附風格預測寬恕態度：安全依附能正向預測寬恕態度的認知向度與寬恕情感向度得分，逃避依附能負向預測寬恕態度的行為向度與情感向度得分，排除依附能負向預測寬恕態度的認知向度得分，焦慮依附無法有效預測寬恕態度三向度的得分。
根據以上研究結果，本研究提出具體建議，作為諮商輔導機構、學校教育工作及未來相關研究之參考。

The purpose of this research was to explore the relationships among attachment styles, injury event factors and forgiveness in adults of different backgrounds. Three hundred and sixteen adults, 100 males and 216 females, above 20 of age being offended by his\her partner for more than 6 months were included. The Scale of Interpersonal Attachment Style and Enright Forgiveness Inventory were conducted. Data were analyzed with ANOVA, Pearson's product-moment correlation and stepwise regression.
The main results from this research were shown below:
1. Adults of different backgrounds including age, education, occupation, religion, marital status, and health status showed significant differences in attachment style.
2. Adults of different backgrounds including gender, age, education, marital status, and love duration showed significant differences in the attitude of forgiveness.
3. Secure attachment was positively correlated with affective, behavioral and cognitive forgiveness separately; in contrast, insecure attachment was negatively correlated with affective, behavioral and cognitive forgiveness separately.
4. The attitudes of offensed adults towards forgiveness differed significantly for their suffering levels of offense, offenders, and the relationship with the offender.
5. The degree of injury showed apparent predictability to attitude toward forgiveness.
6. The attachment style significantly predicted attitude toward forgiveness.
Based on the results, the implication of this study in education, counseling and guidance institutions as well as future researchs of this field was discussed.
