This study investigated the mediating role of maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies in the relationship between insecure attachment and relationship addiction among young adults. A sample of 205 unmarried individuals (49 males, 163 females) aged 19-33 residing in Busan, Seoul, and Daegu, South Korea, was recruited. Participants completed an online survey comprising the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised Korean version (ECRR-K), the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), and the Relationship Addiction Questionnaire (RAQ-30). The data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0. Pearson correlation analysis examined the relationships between variables, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis, following the procedures outlined by Baron and Kenny(1986), was conducted to test the mediating effect. Bootstrapping was used to verify the statistical significance of the mediating effect. The results revealed the following: First, insecure attachment was positively correlated with both relationship addiction and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies. Specifically, attachment anxiety exhibited a significant positive correlation with relationship addiction. Second, maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies partially mediated the relationship between attachment anxiety and relationship addiction. These findings highlighted attachment anxiety as a significant contributing factor to relationship addiction and emphasized the importance of addressing attachment styles in counseling settings to promote healthier relationship patterns. Future research should explore potential protective factors that may mitigate the risk or severity of relationship addiction.
