Abstract: To explore the relationships among perceived social support, social avoidance and distress, core selfevaluation and depression, 799 college students were surveyed with Perceived Social Support Scale, Social Avoidance and Distress Scale, Core Selfevaluations Scale and CES-D Scale. The results indicated that(1) Perceived social support and core selfevaluation were significantly negatively correlated with social avoidance and distress and depression, while perceived social support was significantly positively correlated with core selfevaluation; Besides, social avoidance and distress were significantly positively correlated with depression.(2) Perceived social support not only influenced depression through the direct path, but also through the indirect path of core selfevaluation, as well as the chain mediating path between core selfevaluation and social avoidance and distress.

Key words: perceived social support, social avoidance and distress, core selfevaluation, depression
