Abstract
In a Scottish sample, (a) childhood adversity was associated with overall at-risk mental state severity, (b) both insecure attachment dimensions and negative self-schema were significant mediators, c) there was a serial mediation pathway through attachment anxiety and negative self-schema. Results indicate insecure attachment and negative self-schema as putative developmental mechanisms.
