BACKGROUND: The prevalence of depressive symptoms has become very high among college freshmen, with interpersonal sensitivity serving as an important predictor of depression. Combining internal and external positive resources can effectively prevent and alleviate depression. This study explores the moderating role of psychological capital (PsyCap) in the relationship between interpersonal sensitivity and depression, as well as the moderating effect of familial support on the conditional influence of PsyCap among Chinese college freshmen. METHODS: A cross-sectional mental health survey was performed and the anonymous self-reported questionnaires, including the Patient Health Questionnaire, interpersonal sensitivity subscale of Symptom Checklist-90, Psychological Capital Questionnaire 24, and Perceived Social Support from Family, were distributed to the freshmen. Pearson's coefficient was employed to describe correlations between variables. The PROCESS macro and slope difference tests were used to explore the moderating role of PsyCap and family support in the relationship between interpersonal sensitivity and depression. RESULTS: The prevalence of depression among freshmen was 30.89% (694/2,247). The correlation analysis revealed that depression negatively related to PsyCap ( = -0.187, < 0.001) and family support ( = -0.193, < 0.001) and positively related to interpersonal sensitivity ( = 0.399, < 0.001). The moderation analysis showed that PsyCap negatively moderated the positive relationship between interpersonal sensitivity and depression (β = -0.159, < 0.001). We also found that family support played a moderating role in the conditional influence of PsyCap (β = 0.076, < 0.01). The slope difference test further showed that family support weakened the effect of interpersonal sensitivity on depression in freshmen when they had low PsyCap. CONCLUSION: More attention should be paid to freshmen's mental health and interpersonal interaction problems. For freshmen with interpersonal sensitivity and depression, mental health departments can conduct PsyCap development interventions to alleviate psychological symptoms. Freshmen themselves should also seek family support in time, but those individuals with high PsyCap should seek an appropriate level of family support to maintain their autonomy.
背景:大学新生中抑郁症状的患病率已变得非常高,人际敏感性是抑郁症的一个重要预测因素。整合内部和外部积极资源可以有效预防和缓解抑郁。本研究探讨心理资本(PsyCap)在人际敏感性与抑郁关系中的调节作用,以及家庭支持对中国大学新生中PsyCap条件性影响的调节作用。 方法:进行了一项横断面心理健康调查,并向新生发放了匿名自填问卷,包括患者健康问卷、症状自评量表90人际敏感性分量表、心理资本问卷24以及家庭感知社会支持量表。采用Pearson系数描述变量之间的相关性。使用PROCESS宏和斜率差异检验来探讨PsyCap和家庭支持在人际敏感性与抑郁关系中的调节作用。 结果:新生中抑郁症的患病率为30.89%(694/2247)。相关分析表明,抑郁与PsyCap呈负相关(r = -0.187,p < 0.001)和家庭支持呈负相关(r = -0.193,p < 0.001),与人际敏感性呈正相关(r = 0.399,p < 0.001)。调节分析表明,PsyCap对人际敏感性与抑郁之间的正相关关系起负向调节作用(β = -0.159,p < 0.001)。我们还发现家庭支持在PsyCap的条件性影响中起调节作用(β = 0.076,p < 0.01)。斜率差异检验进一步表明,当新生的PsyCap较低时,家庭支持减弱了人际敏感性对抑郁的影响。 结论:应更加关注新生的心理健康和人际互动问题。对于有人际敏感性和抑郁的新生,心理健康部门可以开展PsyCap发展干预以缓解心理症状。新生自身也应及时寻求家庭支持,但PsyCap较高的个体应寻求适当水平的家庭支持以保持其自主性。
