This study examined the relationships among adult attachment, cultural orientation, and three areas of psychosocial functioning (i.e., emotional expressiveness, social difficulty, and depressive symptoms) with a sample of 112 Chinese American college students. Findings indicated that both attachment avoidance and anxiety were significantly associated with indictors of psychosocial functions in the directions predicted by the theory which provides support to the cross-cultural applicability of adult attachment perspectives on Chinese American populations. In addition, endorsement of independent cultural orientation was found to be negatively associated with both social difficulty and depressive symptoms, and independent cultural orientation moderated the relation between attachment anxiety and social difficulty. Findings and implications are discussed based on attachment perspectives and the acculturation processes and challenges experienced by Chinese American individuals
