目的:本研究旨在探讨中国青少年不安全依恋(依恋焦虑和回避)与抑郁症状的关系,以及积极和消极自我同情的中介作用。
方法:在中国大陆的大学生中进行了一项在线调查。这涉及他们完成包含社会人口统计细节的问卷,依恋焦虑,附件避免,自我同情,和抑郁症状。
结果:依恋焦虑和回避通过增加的消极自我同情和减少的积极自我同情表现出与抑郁症状的联系。依恋焦虑主要通过消极自我同情的中介作用与抑郁症状相关。相反,依恋回避主要通过积极的自我同情的中介作用与抑郁症状有关。
结论:依恋焦虑对消极自我同情的影响稍强,而依恋回避对积极的自我同情表现出更显著的影响。尽管存在这些差异,两种依恋方式对抑郁症状的总体影响具有可比性.这一启示为年轻人不安全的依恋与抑郁症状之间的关系提供了新的见解,强调干预计划制定的重要性。
OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to explore the relationship between insecure attachment (attachment anxiety and avoidance) and depressive symptoms in Chinese young adults as well as the mediating roles of positive and negative self-compassion.
METHODS: An online survey was administered among college students in mainland China. This involved their completion of questionnaires encompassing socio-demographic details, attachment anxiety, attachment avoidance, self-compassion, and depressive symptoms.
RESULTS: Attachment anxiety and avoidance exhibited connections with depressive symptoms through increased negative self-compassion and decreased positive self-compassion. Attachment anxiety was associated with depressive symptoms primarily through the mediating effect of negative self-compassion. Conversely, attachment avoidance was related to depressive symptoms mainly through the mediating role of positive self-compassion.
CONCLUSIONS: Attachment anxiety exerted a slightly stronger influence on negative self-compassion, whereas attachment avoidance exhibited a more prominent impact on positive self-compassion. Despite these differences, both attachment styles were comparable in their overall influence on depressive symptoms. This revelation provides fresh insights into the relationship between insecure attachment and depressive symptoms among young adults, underscoring the importance for intervention program development.
