“…Chen et al (2012) found a positive relationship between insecure attachment and social disconnection in adolescents in their study. In other studies, significant-level relationships were found between attachment styles and need for belongingness (Chen, Hewitt, & Flett, 2015;Greenwood & Long, 2011;Leary, Kelly, Cottrell, & Schreindorfer, 2013;Venta, Mellick, Schatte, & Sharp, 2014).…”

The current research aims to investigate the serial-multiple mediation of general belongingness and life satisfaction in the relationship between loneliness and attachment to parents and peers in adolescents.The participants of the research consisted of 218 high school students (F = 126, 57.8%; M = 92, 42.2%).Age of the participants' ranged between 14 and 18 with a mean of 15.84 (SD = 1.42). Instruments in the current research included the Personal Information Form, Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment, UCLA Loneliness Scale, General Belongingness Scale, and Satisfaction with Life Scale. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, the Pearson correlation coefficient, ordinary least-squares regression analysis, and bootstrap method. Based on the research findings, the serial-multiple mediation of general belongingness and life satisfaction in the relationship between loneliness and attachment to parents and peers was found to be statistically significant. Findings of the study were discussed under the light of relevant literature, and some suggestions were made for future studies.

“…For preoccupied adolescents, the negative model of self leads them to develop a low level of self-esteem and to depend on the judgment of others, who, on 440 the contrary, are positively considered. In order to minimize the risk of rejection, people often modify their thoughts and attitudes, learning to act in ways that will bring them approval, mitigating the sense of shame by enhancing a sense of connectedness with others (Chen, Hewitt, & Flett, 2015). However, preoccupied adolescents, not having confidence in their value, often do not feel that they get enough consideration or 445 support when they seek proximity with others.…”

“…Furthermore, the generalizability of the PSDM has not been well established among younger adolescents. Studies evaluating the PSDM on community samples have been conducted with college undergraduates (Sherry et al 2008) and high school students (Chen et al 2012(Chen et al , 2015, but those testing the model among younger adolescents have almost exclusively included referred clinical samples (Roxborough et al 2012). Evaluating the validity of the PDSM among Latino and African American youth in the United States, for example, may be particularly useful given their higher risk of developing depressive disorders (Merikangas et al 2010;Merikangas and Knight 2009;Wagstaff and Polo 2012) and the need to increase their disproportionately low access and engagement in mental health services (Merikangas et al 2011).…”

Perfectionistic self-presentation (PSP) has been identified as a vulnerability factor in the development of depressive disorders during early adolescence. The Perfectionism Social Disconnection Model (PSDM) offers a theoretical framework suggesting PSP leads to depressive symptoms via interpersonal problems and social disconnection. Previous studies have supported the role of social disconnection as a mediator in the relation between PSP and suicidal ideation, but have not evaluated interpersonal problems in the model. Furthermore, the generalizability of the model has not been established for community and ethnic minority samples. Using cross-sectional data, the present study addresses these gaps by evaluating the PSDM and including social anxiety and loneliness as indicators of interpersonal problems and social disconnection, respectively, as predictors of youth depressive symptoms. The sample includes 289 (51.2% females) predominately low income and Latino and African American youth in fifth through seventh grade in three public schools. As predicted, social anxiety mediates the relationship between both PSP and loneliness and PSP and depressive symptoms. Moreover, mediational analyses indicate that social anxiety accounts for the relation between PSP and depression. Consistent with the PSDM model, the relationship between PSP and youth depressive symptoms is mediated sequentially through both social anxiety and loneliness, but primarily among the Latino sample.
