The effects of adult attachment on college student's depression:the mediating role of sense of life meaning and the moderating role of solution-focused thinking
Objective To explore the relationships and underlying mechanisms among adult attachment,sense of life meaning,solution-focused thinking,and depression in college students,reveal the influencing factors of college students'depression,and provide a theoretical basis for depression intervention.Methods A total of 1 095 college students were assessed using the adult attachment scale,the life meaning scale,the solution-focused thinking scale,and the depression self-rating scale.Using Pearson correlation analysis to explore the relationship between scores on various scales,using the Bootstrap method to analyze the mediating role of sense of meaning in life between adult attachment and depression.Results There were positive correlations between attachment anxiety,attachment avoidance,and depression(r=0.42,0.33).Attachment anxiety,attachment avoidance,and depression were all negatively correlated with life meaning(r=-0.27,-0.15,-0.38)and solution-focused thinking(r=-0.22,-0.08,-0.38),all with P<0.01.Attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance can not only directly affect college students'depression,but also indirectly affect depression through the mediating effect of life meaning,with the mediating effect accounting for 18.16%and 15.86%of the total effect,respectively;solution-focused thinking plays a moderating role in both halves of the aforementioned mediation.Conclusions The sense of life meaning plays a part of the mediating role in the effects of attachment anxiety and avoidance on college students'depression,and the mediating effect is influenced by the moderating effect of solution-of-focus thinking.Training individuals in solution-focused thinking may help to enhance life meaning and reduce depressive emotions.
