Abstract
|
|
|
|
The mediating effects of worry, rumination, psychological acceptance, and coping styles in the relationships among life stress, temperaments, and negative affect (depression and anxiety) were investigated using structural equation modeling. The measures of psychological avoidance (worry, rumination, and avoidance coping), psychological flexibility (psychological acceptance and problem-solving coping), the Life Experience Survey, the Eysenck Personality Inventory, the STAI, and the BDI were administered to 296 college students. As a result, extraversion was shown to play a moderating role in the relationship between stressful life events or neuroticism and negative affect. The psychological avoidance (worry, rumination, and avoidance coping) was shown to play a mediating role in the relationship between stressful life events or temperaments and negative affect. The psychological flexibility (psychological acceptance and problem-solving coping) was shown to play a partial mediating role in the relationship between psychological avoidance and negative affect. The theoretical and clinical implications of these findings and the limitations of the present study are discussed.
