This study examined the personality-event congruency hypotheses or depression. According to the hypotheses, the sociotropy and autonomy serve as vulnerability factors to dysphoria in the presence of life stress that matches the theme of the vulnerability. Four hundred ninety nine college students responded to the Korean version of PSI-II, Life Event Questionnaire, and HDS. The results of hierarchial multiple regression analyses partially supported the congruency hypotheses. That is, strong support for the predicted interaction was obtained in autonomy dimension. But sociotropy vulnerability yielded no significant interactions with the stress of interpersonal events. The results are discussed in the context of limitations, clinical implications and recommendations for further research.
