Abstract

This study examined the effect of depressive response styles on the relation of stress and depression with male and female college students. The results confirmed that ruminative and distracting response styles were important factors which had contrasting influences on the depression. There was a reflective response style that had positive aspects within self-focused response. Female college students had more stress and were more likely to engage in ruminative and distracting response than male, but there was no sex difference in depressive levels. However there was no difference between ruminative and distracting response style in both male and female students. Regression analyses showed that ruminative and distracting styles of response to depressed mood had significant effect on depression, but unexpectedly moderation effects computed by interaction effects of stress and depressive response style were not found. Mediation effect analyses indicated that ruminative response style mediated indirectly the relation of stress and depression in male and female students and ruminative response style had very important effect on depression. This mediation effect suggested that intervention would be effective if it is focused on ruminative response style. Finally, suggestions for present and future study and the limitations of present study were discussed.
