The cognitive-interpersonal perspective of depression focuses on the interpersonal dysfunction of the depressed and their underlying cognition. The present study investigated the relation between adult attachment security and symptoms of depression and tested whether this relation was mediated by dysfunctional attitude and negative interperonal schema. The 221 undergraduate students were surveyed. The results showed that the more anxious and the less dependable on attachment relationship, the more depressed, and the dysfunctional attitude mediated the association between adult attachment and depressive symptoms. In addition, the preoccupied group among 4 styles on attachment showed the highest level of depressive symptoms. The results suggested that adult attachment and related maladaptive cognition should be involved in the studies of interpersonal relationship on depression. Implications for the development of interpersonal theory on depression were discussed.
