The purpose of this research was to test a causal model between attachment and depression, with guilt andshame as mediating variables. Participants were 653 tenth and eleventh-grade students with 314 males and 339 females. Structural equation modeling and semi-partial and partial correlation were used to analyze the
data. Results indicated that the causal model was supported, but only shame played a significant mediating role in the model. Guilt could indirectly affect depression by means of shame as a mediator. Besides, when the shared variance between shame and guilt was controlled, the unique component of shame was still significantly related to depression. Finally, recommendations for the future research were suggested.
