Abstract:

Based on a sample of 861 junior high school students in Shaoxing, the current study explored the relationship between negative life events and depression. The results showed that (1) negative life events positively predicted depression level of junior high school students; (2) the positive impact of negative life events on depression was partially mediated by upward counterfactual thinking; (3) self-esteem moderated the second half of the mediation effect. Specifically, for low self-esteem individuals, upward counterfactual thinking displayed a stronger mediation effect. The results of the study may reveal the effects of negative life events on depression and provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and intervention of junior high school students' depression.

Key words: negative life events, depression, upward counterfactual thinking, self-esteem
