Psychological Resources as Stress Buffers: Their Relationship to University Students' Anxiety and Depression
McCarthy, Christopher J.; Fouladi, Rachel T.; Juncker, Brian D.; Matheny, Kenneth B.
Journal of College Counseling, v9 n2 p99 Fall 2006
The association of protective resources, personality variables, life events, and gender with anxiety and depression was examined with university students. Building on regression analyses, a structural equation model was generated with good fit, indicating that with respect to both anxiety and depression, negative life events and coping resources were mediated by a common distress factor. Personality variables were associated with anxiety, which in turn had a direct relationship to depression. (Contains 1 figure.)
