objective To explore the father attachment of college students and influencing factors.Method 371 college students in Chongqing were investigated with a self-designed questionnaire on father attachment.Results The scores on six dimensions were all higher than 3 in terms of father attachment of college students;female students had high scores than male students on the dimensions of reliance and support but the male students had a higher score in terms of independence

and the differences were statistically significant（P<0.05 or P<0.01）;those students living with parents or a father had higher scores in reliance and communication than those with a mother

and the differences were statistically significant（P<0.01）;the score of communication was higher in students living with parents than that in those from single-parent families

and it showed statistically significant difference（P<0.05）;the scores of independence and care in rural students were higher than those in urban students

and the differences were statistically significant（P<0.05 or P<0.01）;the scores of reliance

communication and support in non-impoverished students were higher than those in impoverished students

and they suggested statistically significant differences（P<0.01）;the scores of every dimension in different majors and grades and whether being a single child suggested no statistically significant differences.Conclusion Father attachment of college students is relatively deep;male students are more independent comparing with female students;family structure exerts a great influence on father attachment;rural students are more independent and attached to father;non-impoverished college students have deeper father attachment.
