The current study examined the longitudinal relationship of collectivistic orientation and depression and the mediating effects of acculturative stress and cultural self-efficacy between collectivistic orientation and depression. We expect that collectivistic orientation would decrease acculturative stress and increase cultural self-efficacy, and in turn, improve depression. Using data from 641 Chinese internal migrants during a 1-year period, the results supported the hypothesis that collectivistic orientation predicted decreased depression. Moreover, collectivistic orientation alleviated depression through reducing acculturative stress. Although cultural self-efficacy was also a significant mediator, collectivistic orientation relieved depression through decreasing cultural self-efficacy. Implications for future research directions and counseling are discussed.
本研究考察了集体主义取向与抑郁之间的纵向关系，以及文化适应压力和文化自我效能感在集体主义取向与抑郁之间的中介作用。我们预期集体主义取向会降低文化适应压力并提高文化自我效能感，进而改善抑郁状况。利用641名中国国内移民在一年期间的数据，研究结果支持了集体主义取向可预测抑郁程度降低这一假设。此外，集体主义取向通过减轻文化适应压力来缓解抑郁。虽然文化自我效能感也是一个显著的中介变量，但集体主义取向是通过降低文化自我效能感来减轻抑郁的。文中还讨论了对未来研究方向和咨询的启示。
