Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This cross-sectional study examines how self-inconsistency and attachment insecurity influence the relationship between anxiety and reasons for living among 416 Chinese college students. The results indicate that higher anxiety is linked to fewer reasons for living, a connection mediated by self-inconsistency and attachment avoidance. Additionally, attachment anxiety was found to moderate this association, strengthening the negative impact of anxiety when attachment anxiety levels are high.
