大學生人際困擾與憂鬱程度之關聯——探討獨處能力之調節效果

研究動機：過去研究發現人際困擾對於憂鬱有重大的影響，本研究關注獨處能力是否會影響人際困擾與憂鬱之關聯，並期待藉此探究獨處能力的提升可否成為預防憂鬱的保護因子。研究方法：本研究招募274名大學生，以網路問卷之管道，邀請參與者填寫人際互動評量表、台灣憂鬱情緒量表、獨處能力量表。研究結果與結論：結果發現獨處能力中的獨處因應能力與獨處舒適能力，可在人際困擾的控制向度與憂鬱間具有調節效果。顯示當大學生有控制向度的人際困擾時(過度順從、依賴他人)，若能有較高的獨處因應能力與獨處舒適能力，則不會影響憂鬱程度；若有較低的德處因應能力與獨處舒適能力，則會使憂鬱程度顯著提升。因此若能夠提升獨處因應能力與獨處舒適能力，則可以減輕憂鬱帶來的傷害。研究建議：心理工作者宜重視大學生獨處能力之重要性，並針對有控制向度人際困擾的大學生提供獨處能力之訓練以預防憂鬱。

Background: Previous studies have found that interpersonal distress has a significant impact on depression. The presented study focused on whether the ability of solitude affects the relationship between interpersonal distress and depression. This study also expects that improving the ability of solitude can be a protective factor to prevent depression. Methods: This study collected data from 274 college students located in Taiwan by using an online questionnaire, including the Interpersonal Interaction Scale, Taiwan Depression Mood Scale, and the Ability of Solitude Scale. Result and Conclusions: The results found that the ability of solitary coping and solitary comfort, can have a moderating effect between the control dimension of interpersonal distress and depression. The results indicated that when college students have control-oriented interpersonal distress (overly submissive and dependent on others), if they have a higher solitary coping and solitary comfort ability, it will not affect the depression degree; if they have a lower solitary coping and solitary comfort ability, it will cause depression becoming serious. Future Directions: Mental health practitioners should recognize the importance of college students’ ability to be alone and help them improve their solitude ability with the control dimension of interpersonal distress to prevent depression.
