The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among social reactions to trauma disclosure and post-traumatic cognitions, depression by gender comparison. In addition, this study examined how gender affects the relationship. The data were collected through a survey with 385 young adults in Korea whose ages were between 19 and 29 who had experienced traumatic events more than once in a lifetime. Participants were asked to complete the questionnaire composed of the Traumatic Event Checklist, the Korean version of the Social Reactions Questionnaire(K-SRQ), the Post-traumatic Cognitions Inventory (PTCI), the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale(CES-D). The data were analysed using structural equation modeling. The research findings are as follows: First, emotional support and taking control explain the level of depression only through indirect path via post-traumatic cognitions. Second, gender differences were found in post-traumatic cognitions and depression. Women were more negative towards themselves and the world, more blaming themselves, and more depressed than men. However, there were no gender differences in emotional support and taking control. Third, the result of multi-group analysis showed that there were gender differences. Women’s post-traumatic cognitions were more affected by emotional support than men, and men’s depression was more affected by post-traumatic cognitions than women.
