To investigate the moderating effects of neuroticism on adolescent stress and depressive symptoms, the cur- rent study examined whether the association between the occurrence of negative events and increased depressive symptoms was moderated by neuroticism.

Every three months for the subsequent 12 months, adolescents completed measures assessing depressive symptoms and the occurrence of negative events.

In conclusion, Adolescents＇ neuroticism can moderate the relationship be- tween life events stress and depression.
