Correlation Research Of University Girls' Depression, Life Events & Pressure Coping

Many investigation results show us that life events and pressure coping styles concern university students' depressions nearly. Now it is rarely to see the research on the relationship between gender, life events and pressure coping styles. So in order to discuss the relationship between depression of university girls and their encountered life events and their pressure coping styles, we carried out local investigations in 3 universities in Beijing. Totally, we received 509 effective questionnaires. We used usual analysis tools, such as BECK depression scale, ALSEC teen-age life events scale and COPE pressure coping strategy scale. Then we applied SPSS program to calculate and do data processing. Our research set up a definite conception: if the rate of these surveyed university girls whose symptom of depression or severe depression is not severe, the 'depression' mentioned in this paper is a normal emotion status not have severe symptom. It is a common situation that will be effective by self-instructed adjustment, mental guide and mental intervening. This research will not take these diagnosed depression objects or even deeply ones into account Results tell us that 25.4% tested university girls who got depression, severe depression is rarely seen. T-test displays that the gender difference on depression between university boys and girls will be obvious at edge. University girls' depressions have much to do with life events. They usually use these methods to cope with, such as finding psychic social support, catharsis and confiding. These coping styles are generally immature, highly dependence and lack-off rational consideration, Life events endured by university girls and disengagement of behavior and psyche and optimistic explain that forecasts depression well. These four factors will be considered as the keystone of the research of depression intervention strategy.Concerning above proved results, we construct a proposal of the prevention and intervention of university girls' depressions. Firstly, according to university girls' characters, we may early inquire deeply into preventing. Secondly, we can in virtue of psychological consultation and psychological health instruction to carry out effective intervention and adjustment. Our strategy has two significant characters: it focuses on the special character of university girl community; it incarnates the originality of this research in higher degree. This strategy research is not only sufficiently affirmed and agreed with the experienced methods of colleges and investigation agencies, but also suggested an pertinently method of effective interventional adjustment and prevention of university girls' depression by proved research results.
