Cover Story: This study explores how neuroticism and maladaptive daydreaming sequentially mediate the relationship between attachment styles and suicide risk in emerging adults. By examining a sample of 1152 individuals, the research reveals that secure attachment does not have a direct relationship with maladaptive daydreaming but is linked to suicide risk via the mediating influence of neuroticism. Dismissive attachment shows no connections with the other variables. The relationship between preoccupied attachment and suicide risk is fully mediated by neuroticism and maladaptive daydreaming, while that between fearful attachment and suicide risk is partially mediated by these factors. These findings suggest that targeting neuroticism and maladaptive daydreaming could help reduce suicide risk, particularly for those with specific attachment styles. View this paper
