This study has focused to understand how the external and internal control of the diabetes patients and their stress coping ability would affect the depression. 106 of the diabetes patients from the age of 30 to 70 were selected to see how their external and internal control and their stress copping ability would affect the depression. The followings are the results gained from the research. First of all, the patients of high external control appeared to have a higher depression level comparing to the other patients of high internal control. It also turned out that the diabetes patients of the high stress coping ability would not have a difference in the depression level. Second, for the relative influence of the patients’ external and internal control and stress coping ability towards the depression, the external control was observed to be 13.4%. The study is determined significant as it has proposed basic data to prove how the external control of the diabetes patients would affect the depression. The study also confirmed that the improvement of the control would preserve the depression as it works on the reduction of the depression.
