The Relationship Of Resilience, Core Self-evaluation,Depression And Anxiety In College Students

Objective:To explore the relationship among resilience, core self-evaluation, depression and anxiety.Method:Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents,Core Self-Evaluations Scale,CES-D and SAS were assessed in660college students of one key university in Hunan province. Statistical methods adopted included t-test, The Pearson correlation, Multiple linear regression, etc.Results:1.Average level of resilience in all dimensions is high, female had significantly higher scores than male students in resilience,positive cognition,family support and personal assistance; there were no remarkable differences on resilience scores of grade, the students who were only son and daughter.2.Average level of core self-evaluation is high, there were no remarkable differences on core self-evaluation scores of gender, grade, the students who were only son and daughter.3.Average level of depression is low,there were no remarkable differences on depression scores of gender, grade, the students who were only son and daughter.4.Average level of anxiety is low, students in Grade Two had significantly higher scores than students in Grade One,students in Grade three had significantly higher scores than students in Grade One.There were no remarkable differences on depression scores of gender, the students who were only son and daughter.5.There was significantly positive correlation between core self-evaluation and all dimensions of resilience,there was significantly negative correlation between core self-evaluation and depression,anxiety.There was significantly negative correlation between resilience and depression,anxiety.6.Resilience, core self-evaluation and mental control had significant regressive effect on depression;resilience, core self-evaluation and mental control had significant regressive effect on anxiety.7.Significant mediating effects of resilience on relation of core self-evaluation and depression.8. Significant mediating effects of resilience on relation of core self-evaluation and anxiety.Conclusions:1.There are close relationship among college students’ core self-evaluation,resilience,depression and anxiety. The higher level of core self-evaluation, the higher level of resilience and the lower degree of depression and anxiety.2.Core self-evaluation and resilience can negatively predict depression.3.Core self-evaluation and resilience can negatively predict anxiety.4.Resilience partially mediated the relationship between core self-evaluation and depression.5.Resilience partially mediated the relationship between core self-evaluation and anxiety.Figures4, tables13, reference82.
