Abstract

ABSTRACT The relationship of parental attachment and gender to generalized expectancies about negative mood regulation and individual differences in the ability to reflect upon and manage one's emotions was examined in this study. The sample of 254 traditional age college students completed a measure of parental attachment and two questionnaires which measured their beliefs about mood evaluation and regulation functions. MANOVAs using level of attachment and gender as independent variables and beliefs about mood as dependent variables were significant, indicating that current beliefs about mood were related to level of attachment and gender. Implications for psychotherapy with college students are discussed.
