Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of daily stressors on the tendency toward depression and the role that self-worth played in the psychological stress process of fifth- and sixth-grade elementary-school children. A sample of 326 students participated in a questionnaire survey three times over a year. Daily stressors were assessed using measures of friend, study, and family stressors. Structural equation modeling using cross-lagged effects model found that daily stressor was a predictor of the tendency toward depression and that the causal relationship between self-worth and the tendency was bidirectional. In addition, each daily stressor had a negative effect on self-worth and a positive effect on the tendency. Moreover, ANOVA showed that self-worth had a buffering effect against the adverse effect of friend stressors. Children with greater self-worth apparently showed a reduced tendency toward depression, even when friendship was stressful. Implications of the model for intervention are discussed.
