BackgroundCompared with male adolescents, depression among female adolescents is of higher prevalence and greater severity. The level of generalized trust correlates with the severity of depression, and attachment correlates with the level of generalized trust. Therefore, based on the mediating role of generalized trust between attachment and depression, this study explores the pathogenesis of depression in female adolescents.ObjectiveTo explore the mediating role of generalized trust between paternal, maternal and peer attachment and depression in female adolescents, so as to provide references for improving the depression of female adolescents.MethodsThis study included 73 female adolescents who met the diagnostic criteria for depressive disorder in the International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition(ICD-10) as well as received outpatient and inpatient treatment in Hangzhou Seventh People's Hospital between March 2022 and October 2022. Investigation was conducted by use of Revised Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA-R), the Inclusive General Trust Scale (IGTS) and Children's Depression Inventory (CDI). Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between each scale score. The Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating role of generalized trust between attachment and depression.Results① CDI score in female adolescents with depression was negatively correlated with scores of paternal, maternal and peer attachment in IPPA-R (r=-0.463, -0.459, -0.447, P
