Two samples of university students, one from Turkey and the other from the USA, were compared on measures of attachment styles, difficulties in emotional regulation and self-reported symptoms of psychopathology. Results indicated that for both samples the level of anxiety in attachment and the lack of strategies in emotional regulation predicted several symptoms of psychopathology. Differences emerged in demographic predictors with parents’ educational level predicting many of the symptoms in the Turkish population while age was the major demographic predictor in the USA sample. The results suggest that attachment and emotional regulation are universal personality factors contributing to psychopathology across cultures. The collectivistic cultural framework of the Turkish sample showed greater significance to family factors in contrast to the individualistic cultural influences in the USA sample.
