Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: The higher prevalence of depressive symptoms among women demands an in-depth exploration of every possible mechanism through which depressive symptoms may prevail. Identifying any malleable mechanism may open a new pathway through which such symptoms could be targeted. We explored the association between neuroticism, rumination, anxiety, and depressive symptoms and tested a moderated mediation model with anxiety as a mediator in the relationship between neuroticism and depressive symptoms, and rumination as a moderator of the effect of neuroticism on anxiety.
UNASSIGNED: This cross-sectional study was conducted on Indian women living in the state of Punjab. A total of 671 adult females responded to the translated versions of standardized questionnaires measuring the relevant constructs.
UNASSIGNED: The mean (SD) age of the sample was 23.71 (6.09) years. As hypothesized, anxiety significantly mediated the relationship between neuroticism and depression, and the use of rumination moderated the effect of neuroticism on anxiety. Among women with a high score on neuroticism, those with low ruminating tendencies showed less anxiety and depression than others who scored high on rumination.
UNASSIGNED: The findings imply that a reduction in rumination may help women, especially those who are high on neuroticism, manage their vulnerabilities toward anxiety and depressive symptoms. Personality traits being not that malleable, targeting a reduction of rumination usage, which is both a trans-diagnostic factor and a malleable one, can help address the surging prevalence of common mental disorders such as anxiety and depression through appropriately devised interventions.
摘要:
妇女中抑郁症状的患病率较高,需要对抑郁症状可能普遍存在的每种可能机制进行深入探索。识别任何可延展的机制可能会开辟一条新的途径,通过该途径可以针对此类症状。我们探索了神经质之间的联系,沉思,焦虑,和抑郁症状,并测试了以焦虑作为神经质和抑郁症状之间关系的调节调解模型,和沉思作为神经质对焦虑的影响的调节剂。
这项横断面研究是针对生活在旁遮普邦的印度妇女进行的。共有671名成年女性回答了标准化问卷的翻译版本,测量了相关结构。
样本的平均(SD)年龄为23.71(6.09)岁。正如假设的那样,焦虑显著介导了神经质与抑郁的关系,反光镜的使用减轻了神经质对焦虑的影响。在神经质得分高的女性中,反刍性倾向低的人比反刍性得分高的人表现出更少的焦虑和抑郁。
研究结果表明,减少沉思可能有助于女性,尤其是那些神经质很高的人,管理他们对焦虑和抑郁症状的脆弱性。人格特质没有那么可塑,目标是减少沉思的使用,这既是一个转化诊断因素,也是一个可塑性因素,可以通过适当设计的干预措施来帮助解决诸如焦虑和抑郁等常见精神障碍的患病率激增。
