In addition, this study examined the relative importance of parent attachment and peer attachment on adolescents’ self-resilience and depression. The subjects were 626 (328 male, 296 female) students. The results were as follows: First, both parent attachment and peer attachment was positively correlated to early, middle and late adolescent's self-resilience. Second, both parent attachment and peer attachment was negatively correlated to early, middle and late adolescent's depression. Third, the correlation between parent attachment and adolescents’ self-resilience in early adolescence did not differ from the correlation in middle adolescence. Fourth, the correlation between peer attachment and adolescents’ self-resilience was stronger for early adolescents than middle adolescents while peer attachment and adolescents’ self-resilience was stronger for late adolescents than middle adolescents. Fifth, the correlation between parent attachment and adolescents’ depression in early adolescence did not differ from the correlation in middle adolescence and the correlation between parent attachment and adolescents’ depression in middle adolescence did not differ from the correlation in late adolescence. Sixth, the correlation between peer attachment and adolescents’ depression in early adolescence did not differ from the correlation in middle adolescence and the correlation between peer attachment and adolescents’ depression in middle adolescence did not differ from the correlation in late adolescence. Seventh, related to relative effects of parent and peer attachment on adolescents’ self-resilience, peer attachment had the greater effects on self-resilience than parent attachment in early and middle adolescence. Eighth, related to relative effects of parent and peer attachment on adolescents’ depression, peer attachment had the greater effects on depression than parent attachment in early, middle and late adolescence.
