The relationship among self-construal, subjective well-being and depression

The purpose of this study was to test the pass model which cognitive-flexibility and self-concept clarity mediate in the relations between the condition of high levels of as well independent self-construal as interdependent self-construal and subjective well-being, and between these condition of self-construals and depression. Furthermore, it was investigated whether self-complexity has moderating effects in the pathway from cognitive-flexibility and self-concept clarity to subjective well-being and depression on our pass model. In addition, it was explored whether gender difference appeared in our pass model. For these aims of this study, data were collected from 671 students(333 males, 338 females) in eight universities. For the analyses of mediating effects and moderating effects, the method of structural equation modelling was used. The results were as follows. First, this study showed that self-concept clarity was a mediator in the relationship where subjective well-being was affected by both independent self-construal and interdependent self-construal. And this study showed that cognitive flexibility and self-concept clarity were mediators in the relationship where depression was affected by both independent self-construal and interdependent self-construal. Second, self-complexity moderated the relation between self-concept clarity and depression on our model. That is, when the level of self-concept clarity is low and the level of self-complexity is high, the level of depression is low, but when the level of self-concept clarity and the level of self-complexity are high, the level of depression is high. Third, it was identified that there are differences by gender in our pass model. We discussed the meaning of some results which were not consistent with previous researches and the implications for further study.
