This study aimed to examine the mediating effect of ambivalence over emotional expressiveness and the mediated moderation effect of perceived social support in the relationship between attachment avoidance and psychological well-being in their 20s and 30s. The subjects were 230(48 male, 182 female) in their 20-30s. The data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 and SPSS Macro. The result of an integrated model with mediating and moderating effects, indicated that partially mediated attachment avoidance and psychological well-being. Second, in the effects of attachment avoidance on psychological well-being, ambivalence over emotional expressiveness and social support had a mediated moderation effect. These findings suggest that the higher the attachment avoidance, the higher the ambivalence over emotional expression, which can lower psychological well-being, but socail support can reduce this influence. Finally, the study’s limits and further discussion were suggested.
