Meaningfulness Intervenes in Stress's Influence on Attachment Anxiety and Avoidance Coping
In Event: Adolescents and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Depression, Identity, and Coping
Abstract
This study explored the mediation relationship among stress, insecure attachment (attachment avoidance/attachment anxiety), and avoidance coping. In addition, the study explored meaningfulness, manageability, and comprehensibility as moderators that intervened the mediation relationship. The three moderators’ impact on the direct influence from stress to avoidance was also examined. Participants were 250 college students in the U.S. Hayes’s (2018) PROCESS macro for SPSS was applied to test the mediation and moderated mediation models in the study. Results showed that the mediation relationship was significant. Meaningfulness could intervene the influence of stress on attachment anxiety (the first stage of mediation) but it (meaningfulness) could not intervene the mediation relationship. However, meaningfulness could intervene stress’s direct influence on avoidance coping.
