Methods A total of 198 college students were surveyed adopting Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory and Internality, Powerful Others and Chance Questionnaire. Results The distribution of college student′s attachment type was not balanced,the proportion of dismissing type,security type, fearful type, preoccupied type accounting for 43. 9%,31. 3%,21. 7%,3. 1% respectively. The scores of internality, chance and powerful others were (27. 59 ± 5. 44),(17. 92 ± 6. 66),(17. 70 ± 7. 32) respectively. Attachment avoidance correlated negatively with internality(r= -0. 259,P<0. 01), and positively with chance and powerful others(r=0. 206,0. 221,P<0. 01);besides there was a positive correlation between attachment anxiety and chance,powerful others(r=0. 378, 0. 410,P<0. 01). Attachment avoidance had prediction on internality(R2 =0. 067,P<0. 01). Attachment anxiety had prediction on chance and powerful others(R2 =0. 143,0. 168,P<0. 01). Conclusion College students’ at-tachment has significant effects on locus of control.
