Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effect of avoidant personality belief and experiential avoidance on the relation between perceived stress and depression. Self-report data were collected from 328 university students (131 male and 197 female) located in the GyeongNam area. The following questionnaires were utilized: Perceived Stress Scale(PSS), Personality Belief Questionnaire(PBQ), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-Ⅱ(AAQ-Ⅱ), and Korea Depression Scale(KDS). Hierarchical analysis was applied to verify the moderating effect of avoidant personality belief and experiential avoidance on the relation between perceived stress and depression. The study results were as follows. Perceived stress was positively correlated with avoidant patterns (avoidant personality belief, experiential avoidance) and depression. Perceived stress, avoidant personality belief and experiential avoidance significantly predicted the level of depression. Avoidant personality belief and experiential avoidance moderated the relation between perceived stress and depression among adults, implying that the level of avoidant personality belief; and experiential avoidance plays an important role as a protective factor in reducing depression in adults with perceived stresses. However, there was a difference in moderating effects between genders. The moderating effect of avoidant personality belief works for both genders but experiential avoidance had no effect in the female group. The findings and implications were discussed.
