Abstract
PurposeTo explore whether resilience acted as a protective factor between negative life events and depression among Chinese adolescents. MethodUsing convenient sampling, students (N = 278) in two junior and senior high schools in Wuhan, China were investigated, and structural equation model was used to examine the mediating effect of resilience in the relationship between negative life events and depression. ResultsResilience was negatively correlated with negative life events and depression, and negative life events were positively correlated with depression. Resilience partially mediated the effects of negative life events on depression in Chinese adolescents. ConclusionsIt is important for educators to improve adolescents' resilience to mitigate the effects of negative life events on depression.
