Abstract

It was assumed that, self-disclosure and distraction about the stressful life event would affect positively subjective well-being, health perception, and physical health, and that rumination, avoidance, suppression about the stressful life event would affect negatively criteria variables. Based upon the above assumption, following hypotheses were derived and examined through a survey research: (1) The main and interaction effects of rumination, avoidance, and self-disclosure on subject well-being, health perception, and physical health would be significant, respectively. (2) Among rumination, avoidance, suppression, distraction, and self-disclosure, finding the significant main factors affecting criteria variables. (3) According to the level of importance and stress of the stressful event, the above predictors would affect differently criteria variables. The participants of this research were 1,021 college students from five regional areas in Korea. Subjective well-being, health perception, physical symptoms, and physical illness were also measured as criteria variables. The results of this research supported fully or partially the above hypothesis. Of importance, self-disclosure of the stressful life event affected positively subjective well-being when the level of rumination was low. This findings imply that the positive effect of self-disclosure is not consistent to the general situation. Futhermore, the effect of rumination on criteria variables was widely supported among the predictors. Finally, the implications of this study and the suggestions for future studies were discussed.
