The purpose of this study was to examine the mediation effects of attachment insecurity on the relationship between childhood trauma and borderline personality traits. Subjects included 504 cyber university female students. The participants were asked to complete questionnaires, including the Trauma Antecedents Questionnaire (TAQ), Experiences in Close Relationships Questionnaire-Revised (ECR-R), and the Personality Assessment Inventory - Borderline Features Scale (PAI-BOR). Correlation analysis and structural equation modeling analysis were used for data analysis. The results were as follows: First, childhood trauma showed statistically significant positive correlation with both attachment insecurity and borderline personality traits. Second, results of structural equation modeling analyses supported the proposed mediation model. The results support a link between childhood trauma and borderline personality traits and support the hypothesis that ECR-Avoidance and ECR-Anxiety partially mediates this relationship. These results indicate that in addition to the direct effects of childhood trauma on borderline personality traits, there are also indirect effects that are mediated by attachment insecurity. Based on these results, the implications and limitations of the research were suggested.
