This study aimed to investigate whether certain aspects of the God image, and characteristics of attachment to God, can be related to work addiction risk. The sample consisted of 215 Hungarian adults (mean age 37.9). Regarding the two measured aspects of the God image, the Loving God image was linked with work addiction risk through its weak negative contribution to self-esteem, whereas the Controlling God image was in a weak direct association with work addiction risk. Anxiety about abandonment by God showed a strong positive correlation with work addiction risk, and also predicted it negatively through self-esteem. The results suggest that anxious attachment to God might contribute to work addiction risk.

Modern society has been characterized by individualism which has led people to a certain identity crisis. In the postmodern age, the answer to the crisis is partially found in the desire for authentic human relationships. This is why the way to a psychological understanding of the mystery of man is through an understanding of interpersonal relationships of the person. It is the same when we study the religious aspects of human existence. The aim of this article is to provide readers with an organized view on certain theories and related concepts that are used at present in the psychology of interpersonal relationships and particularly in the psychology of religion. Two particular theories are discussed above all: the Attachment theory and the Object relations theory – both applied to religion. Both of them suggest that we may learn more about the religious experience of an individual when we know more about his/her interpersonal relationships. From the interdisciplinary point of view it is concluded that the fact is correspondingly reflected in contemporary Christian theology.
The associations between parent-daughter relationship characteristics and disordered eating behaviours among emerging adult women from the Czech Republic were examined. Participants (N = 798 women, M = 22.25 years old, SD = 1.42) reported on disordered eating behaviours (dieting and unhealthy weight-control behaviours; UWCB), their relationship characteristics with each parent (trust, communication, alienation and psychological control) and covariates (weight, height, frequency of communication with parents, living status and parental statuses). Overall, 41% of women were on a diet, and 33% engaged in at least one UWCB. Logistic regression analyses revealed that none of the parent-daughter relationship characteristics had any association with dieting. However, a low quality of mother-daughter relationship (low trust, high alienation and psychological control) had a significant association with UWCB. None of the father-daughter relationship characteristics had a significant association with UWCB. The results suggest that preventive interventions with the family should emphasize the quality of the mother-daughter relationship.
Attachment is a permanent emotional bond activated in children by signals that they perceive as frightening, dangerous or stressful, while in the parents’ attachment system of care, it is activated by the goal of satisfying children’s needs. The aim of this research was to determine which strategies mothers use in their interaction with children, aged 5 to 7 (N = 80) during their cognitive problem solving. More specifically, the goal was to ascertain if there is a difference in the sensitivity to children’s cognitive needs on the part of mothers of securely and mothers of insecurely attached children. Compared to mothers of insecurely attached children, mothers of securely attached children more often help their child by giving it appropriate instructions (scaffolding). Mothers of insecurely attached children, in situations when the child’s solution is incorrect, more often help their children by giving them long explanations, regardless whether the child listens or understands what is been said (a monologue).
