METHODS: A total of 12945 undergrad students were recruited in China from April 10 to 19, 2022. These participants were asked to complete the online questionnaires measuring interpersonal sensitivity, anxiety, psychological capital, and depression. A moderated mediation model was examined by using PROCESS macro for SPSS 25.0, in which anxiety was a mediating variable, and psychological capital was a moderating variable.
RESULTS: Interpersonal sensitivity was positively associated with depression among Chinese college students (r = 0.47, P < 0.001). Anxiety partially mediated the association between interpersonal sensitivity and depression (indirect effect = 2.31, 95%CI [2.18, 2.44], accounting for 70% of the total effect). Moreover, the interaction effect of interpersonal sensitivity and psychological capital on anxiety (β = -0.04, t = -17.36, P < 0.001) and the interaction effect of anxiety and psychological capital on depression (β = 0.002, t = 1.99, P < 0.05) were statistically significant.
CONCLUSIONS: The current study explained the mediation role of anxiety and the moderation role of psychological capital in the relation between interpersonal sensitivity and depression. The findings suggested that strict monitoring anxiety and promoting psychological capital may decrease the risk of depression among Chinese college students during the campus lockdown.
方法:2022年4月10日至19日在中国招募了12945名本科生。这些参与者被要求完成测量人际敏感性的在线问卷,焦虑,心理资本,和抑郁症。通过使用SPSS25.0的过程宏检查了一个适度的中介模型,其中焦虑是一个中介变量,心理资本是一个调节变量。
结果:人际关系敏感与中国大学生的抑郁情绪呈正相关(r=0.47,P<0.001)。焦虑部分介导了人际关系敏感和抑郁之间的关联(间接效应=2.31,95CI[2.18,2.44],占总效应的70%)。此外,人际关系敏感和心理资本对焦虑的交互作用(β=-0.04,t=-17.36,P<0.001),焦虑和心理资本对抑郁的交互作用(β=0.002,t=1.99,P<0.05)有统计学意义。
结论:本研究解释了焦虑的中介作用和心理资本在人际关系敏感与抑郁之间的调节作用。研究结果表明,在校园封锁期间,严格监测焦虑和提升心理资本可能会降低中国大学生的抑郁风险。
