Abstract

Objective:The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship of attachment representation and perceived social support in college students, and the role of co-rumination in it.
Methods:Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory (ECR), Co-rumination Questionnaire (CRQ), and Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) were conducted to 568 college students. Harman's single factor test was performed on all items in the questionnaire. SPSS 22.0 was used for multiple imputation, Harman single factor test, descriptive statistical analyze and correlation coefficient between variables. AMOS 22.0 structural equation model was used to analyse the mediating effect of co-rumination between attachment representation and perceived social support. Take attachment anxiety, attachment avoidance and co-rumination as the manifest variables, take perceived social support as the latent variable, and take gender and age as the control variables.
Results:Attachment anxiety was positively correlated with co-rumination (r = 0.29, p < 0.01). Attachment avoidance was negatively correlated with co-rumination and perceived social support (r_{attachment avoidance- co-rumination} = -0.11, p < 0.05; r_{attachment avoidance-perceived social support} = -0.29, p < 0.01). Co-rumination and perceived social support were positively correlated (r = 0.11, p < 0.05). The analysis of mediating effects showed that co-rumination served as a complete mediator in the relationship between attachment anxiety and perceived social support, but did not mediate the relationship between attachment avoidance and perceived social support.
Conclusion:As attachment representation is related to co-rumination, college students with attachment anxiety could feel perceived social support through co-rumination.

Key words： attachment anxiety; attachment avoidance; co-rumination; perceived social support
