Participants were 143 university students from Hong Kong and 187 from the United States. As predicted, attachment-avoidant individuals had higher levels of social cynicism and lower levels of reward for application, while attachment-anxious individuals showed higher levels of social cynicism. Both social cynicism and reward for application mediated the link between insecure maternal attachment styles and life satisfaction, confirming the position that experiences with mothering shape beliefs about the world that in turn shape life outcomes. Anxious and avoidant maternal attachment styles correlated differently with religiosity, social cynicism, and reward for application in the two cultures, suggesting a distinctive role for beliefs about religious institutions and a Supreme Being for Americans. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
