摘要
The aim of the current research was to investigate the relationship between quality of attachment and psychological symptoms in Tehran and Iran Medical Sciences Universities. To accomplish the stated goal 290 students from Tehran and Iran Medical Sciences Universities were selected by means of proportional sampling procedure. The Revised Adult Attachment Scale (Collins, 1996) and The Psychological Symptoms Checklist90-Revised (Derogatis et al., 1973) were administered on them. Analysis of data using a multiple regression analysis revealed that the magnitude of psychological symptoms can be predicted from the quality of student's attachment. Moreover, data revealed that students who had an anxious attachment were higher in psychological symptoms than students who had a depend attachment (dependability of others). Authors concluded that depend attachment were associated with lower psychological symptoms in college students who were studying in Medical Sciences Universities. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
