Adult attachment and impact of training on recruits: mediating effect of neuroticism and negative coping / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To examine the impact of stressful training on recruits and relationships with adult attachment,neuroticism and negative coping style.Methods 1 962 recruits were assessed with aduh attachment scale (AAS),impact of event scale-revised (IES-R),Eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ) and trait coping style questionnaire (TCSQ).Results (1) 67.84％ of recruits reported the varying degrees of stress,and the total average of IES-R was 1.25±0.53.The impact of training of only-child recruits (1.28±0.56) was higher than that of none-only-child (1.22±0.51) (P＜0.05).The total average of attachment close was 3.73±0.51,attachment depend was 3.24±0.53,and attachment anxiety was 2.40±0.77.(2) Attachment anxiety,neuroticism and negative coping style were all positively correlated with impact of training (r =0.384,0.570,0.543,all P＜ 0.01).Attachment close and depend were both negatively correlated with impact of training (r=-0.221,-0.251,all P＜ 0.01).(3) Neuroticism and negative coping style played a completely intermediary role between adult attachment and impact of training.(4) The multiple group analysis showed that the mediation model was adapted to the only-child or none-onlychild recruits.Conclusion Adult attachment can predict impact of training to some extent in the intermediary roles of neuroticism and negative coping style.
