The Relationship Between Married Womens' Life Stress and Depression Tendency: The Mediating and Moderating Effects of Self-Esteem
Abstract
This study was conducted in order to investigate the relationship between married womens' life stress and depression, especially the mediating and moderating effects of self-esteem. The structural equation models were tested by setting married womens' life stress as a prediction variable, their depression as an outcome variable and their self-esteem as mediator and moderator variables. The subject were 541 women (aged 20-59) from Seoul, Gyeonggi, Cheonnam & Cheonbuk province. The data was analysed by correlation analysis in order to find out the correlation coefficient of those variables among housewives' life stress, self-esteem & depression, and Structural Equation Model(SEM) was used in order to investigate the relationship among the four variables. Covariance structural analyses were done by AMOS software. SEM was used to investigate mediating effects of self-esteem. Multiple group analysis were done in order to investigate moderating effects of self-esteem. The results of this study are as follows: First, it was proved that the correlation coefficient of those variables among married womens' life stress, self-esteem & depression were statistically significant. Second, it was proved that married womens' self-esteem exerted as mediating variables. That is, married womens' life stress appeared to affect their depression via their self-esteem. Therefore, their depression could be evident when their self-esteem is low. Third, it was proved that married womens' self-esteem exerted as moderating variables. That is, those with low self-esteem experienced high life stress and much depression, and those with high self-esteem experienced low life stress and less depression. Therefore, in order to help married women to cope with their depression, various counseling strategies are required in terms of improving their self-esteem.
