Adult Attachment, Social Self-Efficacy, Familismo, and Psychological Wellbeing: A Cross-Cultural Comparison

Zamudio, Gabriel, Wang, Chiachih DC, Jin, Ling·2020·The Counseling Psychologist

Abstract

This cross-cultural study investigated a moderated indirect effect model in which country membership and familismo were hypothesized to moderate the direct and indirect effects of attachment insecurity on well-being variables. A total of 360 Mexican university students from Mexico and 235 Mexican American university students from the United States completed research questionnaires. Results indicated that insecure attachment was associated with depressive symptoms and life satisfaction via an indirect effect of social self-efficacy (SSE) and that the indirect effects of attachment avoidance varied significantly by country membership. Familismo was also found to be a significant moderator for the direct effects of attachment anxiety on life satisfaction. Finally, several significant three-way interactions were found suggesting that the buffering effects of familismo on the direct and indirect paths of insecure attachment on SSE and outcome variables vary significantly by country membership. The limitations and implications are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
