: Several studies have supported the evidence that attachment styles are a central factor in adolescent gambling problems. On this theoretical basis, the aim of the present study is to analyze a hypothesized mediation model exploring both the direct and indirect effects of insecure attachment on gambling disorder by investigating the role of the developmental perspective, theory of mind (friend) and adaptive response in that relationship. : The sample consists of 178 adolescents who underwent the and . : The mediation analysis was conducted following Hayes' (2018) procedure, using Model 6. The results showed a significant association between insecure attachment and gambling disorder ( = 0.669; < 0.001). The findings also highlighted a significant chained mediation model in which insecure attachment negatively influenced the developmental perspective ( = -0.742; < 0.001), which affected the theory of mind toward one's own best friend ( = 0.352; < 0.001). : The results highlighted a significant role of insecure attachment in predicting the symptomatic expression of gambling among adolescents, specifically impacting the development perspective, theory of mind toward one's best friend and adaptive response to stress, which were linked to each other by a sequential influence. Therefore, our results showed that a poor developmental self-vision predicted a dysfunctional theory of mind toward the best friend. This could hinder the formation of positive peer relationships, which are crucial for the development of one's identity.
多项研究支持了依恋风格是青少年赌博问题核心因素的证据。基于这一理论基础，本研究旨在分析一个假设的中介模型，通过研究发展视角、心理理论（朋友）和适应性反应在该关系中的作用，探讨不安全依恋对赌博障碍的直接和间接影响。：样本包括178名接受了[具体测试名称1]和[具体测试名称2]的青少年。：中介分析按照Hayes（2018）的程序，使用模型6进行。结果显示不安全依恋与赌博障碍之间存在显著关联（β = 0.669；p < 0.001）。研究结果还突出了一个显著的链式中介模型，其中不安全依恋对发展视角产生负面影响（β = -0.742；p < 0.001），而发展视角又影响对自己最好朋友的心理理论（β = 0.352；p < 0.001）。：结果突出了不安全依恋在预测青少年赌博症状表现方面的重要作用，特别是影响发展视角、对最好朋友的心理理论以及对压力源的适应性反应，这些因素通过顺序影响相互关联。因此，我们的结果表明，不良的发展自我认知预示着对最好朋友功能失调的心理理论。这可能会阻碍积极同伴关系的形成，而同伴关系对个人身份认同的发展至关重要。
