摘要
Negative life events have been considered as a risk factor for depressive symptoms. This study aimed to explore whether resilience mediated the association between negative life events and depressive symptoms, and investigate whether psychopathy moderated the mediation model. Participants were recruited in Henan province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. Finally, 427 participants were included in the full analyses. Results showed the association between negative life events and depressive symptoms was partially mediated by resilience. Besides, the path between negative life events and resilience was moderated by psychopathy. That is to say, negative life events can predict lower level of resilience and further predict more depressive symptoms. In addition, high level of psychopathy, to some extent, can predict less depressive symptoms via buffering the effects of negative life events on resilience.
