COVID-19 卫生措施（社交距离、学校关闭）深刻影响了社会生活、支持网络及其在心理健康方面的保护作用。本研究旨在探讨依恋风格如何影响个体体验社会支持的方式。特别是，研究其在社会支持与抑郁之间关系中的调节作用。
设计了一项在线调查，以澄清成人依恋风格（ECR-S）在 COVID-19 背景下感知社会支持（MOSS）和自我报告抑郁症状（BDI-SF）中的作用。积极的社会互动是社会支持对较低抑郁症状的最重要维度。个体的依恋策略在社会支持与抑郁之间的关系中具有调节作用。至关重要的是，不安全的依恋方式削弱了社会支持对抑郁的积极影响。
与现有文献一致，依恋安全性是我们当前理解人际关系和心理健康的一个重要因素。探索特定和个体的依恋策略可能是保护人群心理健康的有力工具。
