ABSTRACT

To identify any mediating effects which psychological resilience may have upon depression arising from poor dyadic interaction, 111 community volunteers responded to standardized measures of dyadic interaction, depression and psychological resilience. There was a significant inverse correlation between dyadic interaction and depression. Psychological resilience had a significant mediating effect upon that correlation, reducing it to non-significance, but only one aspect of psychological resilience was responsible for the significant mediating effect. When examined at an individual item level, the key behaviours associated with the mediating effect were ‘feeling in control over one’s life’, and ‘having a sense of purpose’. Suggestions are made for the application of these findings within couples’ therapy settings.

摘要

为了确定心理适应力可能对不良的二元互动产生的调解作用，111位社区志愿者对二元互动，抑郁和心理弹性的标准化指标进行了回应。二元互动与抑郁之间存在显着的负相关。心理适应力对该关联具有显着的中介作用，将其降低为非显着性，但是心理适应力的一个方面是该显着中介作用的原因。在单个项目级别进行检查时，与调解效果相关的关键行为是“感觉到对生活的控制”和“具有目标感”。建议将这些发现应用在夫妻的治疗环境中。
