Background: Depression is the primary factor influencing the mental health of adolescents. To explore the psychogenesis
mechanism of adolescent depression, the relationships of adolescent depression with insecure attachment and psychological capital
were discussed.
Subjects and methods: A total of 200 depression patients were selected as the research group through the simple sampling
method from the adolescents accepting psychological counseling in Wuhan, China, from April to June 2020, and another 200
mentally healthy adolescents were taken as the control group. Positive Psycap Questionnaire (PPQ), Center Epidemiological Studies
of Depression (CES-D) scale, and Experiences in Close Relationship (ECR) scale were distributed in the two groups to evaluate
their psychological capital, depression, and insecure attachment.
Results: Compared with the control group, the avoidant attachment and anxious attachment scores are higher in the research
group, but the score of each dimension of psychological capital and the total score is lower (P<0.05). Avoidant attachment is
positively correlated with both anxious attachment and depression and negatively correlated with psychological capital. Anxious
attachment shows a positive correlation with depression and a negative correlation with psychological capital. A negative
correlation is observed between psychological capital and depression (P<0.05). Incomplete family, left-behind children,
psychological capital, each dimension of psychological capital, avoidance attachment and anxious attachment are all independent
influencing factors of adolescent depression, among which anxious attachment and avoidant attachment exert significant direct
effects on adolescent depression, and psychological capital plays an incomplete mediating role in the relationships of anxious
attachment and avoidant attachment with adolescent depression.
Conclusion: Psychological capital can relieve the depression degree, while insecure attachment has a positive predicting effect
on adolescent depression, and psychological capital exerts an incomplete mediating effect on the relationship between insecure
attachment and adolescent depression.
