This cross-cultural study investigated a conditional indirect effect model in which country membership (South Korea or United States) and the need for approval of others (AO) were hypothesized to moderate the direct and indirect effects of attachment insecurity on depression via social self-efficacy (SSE). A total of 673 Korean university students and 401 American university students completed research questionnaires. Results indicated that Korean students endorsed a significantly higher level of AO than American students. Additionally, findings revealed that the strengths of several significant direct and indirect effects varied significantly by country membership and AO. Finally, we found a significant three-way interaction (Attachment avoidance × Country membership × AO), suggesting the necessity of considering cultural differences in attachment influence. The limitations and implications of our cross-cultural findings for decolonization in Western-based psychology are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

这项跨文化研究调查了一个条件间接效应模型，其中假设国家成员（韩国或美国）和需要他人批准（AO）通过社会自我调节依恋不安全感对抑郁症的直接和间接影响。功效（SSE）。共有673名韩国大学生和401名美国大学生完成了调查问卷。结果表明，韩国学生认可的 AO 水平明显高于美国学生。此外，调查结果显示，几个重要的直接和间接影响的强度因国家成员和 AO 而异。最后，我们发现了一个显着的三向交互（附件避免 × 国家成员 × AO），暗示在依恋影响中考虑文化差异的必要性。讨论了我们的跨文化研究结果对西方心理学非殖民化的局限性和影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
