Abstract

With college students going into dating relationships, dating partners become their new attachment figures. We aimed to investigate the relationship between adult attachment, and love psychological stress among college students, which also explored the roles of core self-evaluation and meaning in life. We conducted a questionnaire survey on 813 college students using the adult attachment scale, core self-evaluation scale, meaning in life scale, and love psychological stress scale. We constructed a moderated mediation model to analyze the relationship between adult attachment and love psychological stress, as well as the mediating effect of core self-evaluation and the moderating effect of meaning in life. The results showed that after controlling for single parent or not, adult attachment significantly negatively predicted love psychological stress of college students. Core self-evaluation partially mediated the relationship between adult attachment and love psychological stress of college students. The second half of the mediation model was moderated by meaning in life, that is, with the increase of meaning in life, the negative predictive effect of core self-evaluation on love psychological stress of college students gradually strengthened. The findings of this study demonstrate the detrimental impact of adult attachment on love psychological stress of college students, as well as the mediating core self-evaluation and the moderating role of meaning in life. The mediating and moderating effect of adult attachment between love psychological stress, as well as the mediating effect of core self-evaluation and the moderating effect of meaning in life were confirmed. Overall, promoting the healthy development of adult attachment and helping them shape a positive meaning in life can enhance individuals’ core self-evaluation, thus alleviating love psychological stress among college students. It can also provide references for mental health education in colleges and universities.

大学生的成人依恋与恋爱心理压力：核心自我评价的中介作用和人生意义的调节作用

随着大学生进入恋爱关系，恋爱对象成为他们新的依恋对象。我们旨在研究大学生成人依恋与恋爱心理压力之间的关系，同时探讨核心自我评价和人生意义的作用。我们使用成人依恋量表、核心自我评价量表、生命意义量表和恋爱心理压力量表对 813 名大学生进行了问卷调查。我们构建了一个调节中介模型来分析成人依恋与恋爱心理压力之间的关系，以及核心自我评价的中介效应和人生意义的中介效应。结果显示，在控制单亲与否的情况下，成人依恋对大学生恋爱心理压力有显著的负向预测作用。核心自我评价部分中介了大学生成人依恋与恋爱心理压力之间的关系。中介模型的后半部分受到生活意义的调节，即随着生活意义的增加，核心自我评价对大学生恋爱心理压力的负向预测作用逐渐增强。本研究结果证明了成人依恋对大学生恋爱心理压力的不利影响，以及核心自我评价的中介作用和生活意义的调节作用。成人依恋在恋爱心理压力之间的中介和调节作用，以及核心自我评价的中介作用和生活意义的调节作用都得到了证实。总之，促进成人依恋的健康发展，帮助他们塑造积极的人生意义，可以提升个体的核心自我评价，从而缓解大学生的恋爱心理压力。这也可以为高校心理健康教育提供参考。
