Abstract: We examined whether race and collectivism moderate the association between attachment and mental health. N = 1,195 U.S. adults reported on their attachment style, cultural attitudes, and mental health symptoms. Attachment anxiety and avoidance predicted anxiety and depressive symptoms, but links varied significantly by race and collectivistic cultural attitudes.
