ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the influences of parent-child attachment security memory activation on college students'general attachment working model. Methods 152 college students were randomly distributed to three groups, among which there were two experimental groups accepting father-child or mother-child memory activation,and one control group accepting non-interpersonal memory activation. Results Mather-child security memory activation significantly increased subjects' scores on others-model of general attachment to females (F= 3.83;P ＜0.05), scores of mather-child security memory activation group were significantly higher than those of fatherchild group ( 7.88 ± 7.24,4.49 ± 7.53; P ＜ 0.05 ) and control group ( 7.88 ± 7.24,4.71 ± 6.83; P ＜ 0.05 ).Father-child security memory activation significantly increased subjects' scores on self-model of general attachment to males (F= 6.35; P ＜ 0.01 ), scores of father-child security memory activation group were significantly higher than that of mather-child group (6.33 ±5.39,2.44 ±6.14; P＜0.01 ) and control group (6.33 ± 5.39,2.59 ±6.10; P ＜ 0.01 ). Conclusion Parent-child attachment security memory activation have major influences on college students' general attachment working model, in which the effect of gender differences provides some inspiration for clinical interferences.
