Meaning in Life and Symptoms of Depression in College Students:The Mediating Role of Resilience
This study investigated the relationships among meaning in life,resilience,and symptoms of depression in 594 college students and examined the mediating role of resilience between meaning in life and symptoms of depression.The Chinese Meaning in Life Questionnaire,Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale,and Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale were used.The results showed that meaning in life,including its dimensions of search for meaning and presence of meaning,was significantly positively correlated with resilience.Meaning in life and its two dimensions were significantly negatively correlated with depressive symptoms.Resilience was significantly negatively correlated with depressive symptoms.Resilience partially mediated the relationship between meaning in life and depressive symptoms in college students.These findings suggest that meaning in life and resilience negatively predict depressive symptoms of college students.Meaning in life can not only have a direct effect on college students'depression,but also impact depression indirectly through their resilience level.
