The Effect of Negative Life Events on Depression in Junior High School Students: The Mediating Effect of Neuroticism and the Moderating Effect of Social Support

目的:考察负性生活事件对初中生抑郁的影响机制,探索神经质的中介作用以及社会支持的调节作用。方法:采用儿童抑郁量表、青少年负性生活事件量表、青少年社会支持量表、艾森克人格问卷简式量表中文版对1800名初中生进行问卷调查。结果:1) 负性生活事件、神经质和抑郁间呈显著正相关,社会支持与抑郁间呈显著负相关;2) 神经质在负性生活事件和抑郁之间的中介作用显著。3) 社会支持在负性生活事件与抑郁间的调节作用显著。结论:负性生活事件能够直接正向预测初中生的抑郁,也可以通过神经质这一中介变量预测抑郁,社会支持调节负性生活事件对抑郁的影响。

Objective: To investigate the mechanism of negative life events on junior high school students’ depression, and to explore the mediating role of neuroticism and the moderating role of social support. Methods: 1800 junior high school students were surveyed by the Child Depression Scale, the Youth Negative Sexual events Scale, the youth Social support Scale and the Chinese version of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. Results: 1) Negative life events, neuroticism and depression were positively correlated, while social support was negatively correlated with depression. 2) Neuroticism was a significant mediator between negative life events and depression. 3) Social support has a significant moderating effect on negative life events and depression. Conclusion: Negative life events can directly and positively predict depression in junior high school students, and neuroticism can also predict depression as a mediating variable. Social support moderates the effect of negative life events on depression.
