研究動機與目的:憂鬱症是心理障礙症中極常見之疾病,不僅對個體帶來極大困擾,也對整體社會結構造成影響。認知理論提供我們理解個體憂鬱的理論架構,透過文獻回顧發現認知脆弱性能有效預測個體的憂鬱傾向,早期不適應基模因為在預測個體憂鬱的有效性及實務運用的可能性而受到重視;壓力是另一個研究長期關注的憂鬱危險因子,基模相關理論中也提及壓力的重要性,但我們仍不完全清楚三者間的關聯性為何,透過探討研究變項間關係將可增進對憂鬱個體的評估並擬定合適的介入計畫。 研究方法:研究對象為桃園市某大學學生,有效樣本共 172 名。資料收集採自陳式問卷,包含:個人背景變項、不適應基模量表、大學生生活壓力量表以及貝克憂鬱量表,並根據結構方程模型進行資料分析。 研究結果:(1)不適應基模、壓力與憂鬱傾向間兩兩有顯著正向關聯。(2)早期不適應基模中介壓力與憂鬱傾向間的關係。
Background and Purpose: Depression is a common mental disorder, it brings great distress not only for the individual, but also an impact on the whole community. Cognitive theory provides us a theoretical framework to understand depressive symptoms. Literature review indicated the relations between stress and depression. The early maladaptive schemas can predict individual depressive symptoms influenced by life stress events. However, the mechanism of this effect is unclear. The current study aimed to examine the relationship among early maladaptive schema, stress and depression tendency. Method: A group of 172 college students were selected. They were administered the Young Schema Questionnaire, Life Stress Scale and Beck Depression Inventory-II. The data analysis was based on structural equational modeling. Result: (1) There were significantly positive correlations among early maladaptive schema, stress and depression tendency. (2) Early maladaptive schema was an intervening variable between stress and depression tendency.
