Abstract

The purpose of this study was to test the effect of socially-prescribed perfectionism and intolerance of uncertainty to depression on depression mediated by experiential avoidance, so that university students can accept their experiences and adopt a positive perspective on their future. For this purpose, 238 university students participated in this survey. To measure, the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (HMPS), the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS), the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D), and the Acceptance-Action Questionnaire-Ⅱ (AAQ-Ⅱ) were used. The descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation were conducted to analyze the data, and structural equation modeling was conducted to test the research model. The results of this study are as follow. First, depression had a positive correlation with socially-prescribed perfectionism, intolerance of uncertainty, and experiential avoidance. Second, socially-prescribed perfectionism and intolerance of uncertainty had a positive correlation, and it was also found in the structural equation modeling. Third, socially prescribed perfectionism and intolerance of uncertainty had significant correlation and experiential avoidance had a mediation effect between them. It implies that treatment of depression is easier and more effective if the intervention targets experiential avoidance rather than directly addressing personality traits such as socially-prescribed perfectionism and intolerance of uncertainty. Finally, we discuss more implications, limitations, and suggestions for further research based on the above results.
