“…Wetherell et al ( 2001 ) argued that anxiety is more stable than depression and therefore anxiety may be more likely to cause depression. In previous studies, the results in relation to the association between depression and anxiety were based on cross‐sectional studies (Elbay et al, 2020 ; Odacı & Çıkrıkçı, 2022 ; Uliaszek et al, 2010 ). As these results were two‐paired, the results of longitudinal studies to determine cause and effect are more functional.…”

“…The studies focusing on the aetiology of depression have shown various determinants. Given the nature of depression, it has been observed that dysfunctional processes in the cognitive system may be associated with depression (Beck et al, 1983 ; Ma et al, 2021 ; Odacı & Çıkrıkçı, 2022 ). Biological, psychological and social factors that are considered potential predisposing factors (Slavich & Irwin, 2014 ) may have effects on cognitive evaluations.…”

Objectives The COVID‐19 pandemic has negatively affected the lives of millions of individuals physiologically, behaviorally, socially, and/or psychologically. Moreover, there is now much empirical evidence that mental health problems have increased during the pandemic period and these problems have various consequences. The changes in the mood states of individuals due to the pandemic underpins the rationale of the present study. The aim of the study was to identify the cross‐sectional associations between fear of COVID‐19, stress, anxiety, and depression by using two stage‐meta‐analytic structural equation modeling (TS‐MASEM). Design This is a meta‐analytic structural equation modelling study. Method A systematic literature review initially identified 4840 studies. As a result of applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 25 studies comprising 28 samples (reporting 120 effect sizes) were eligible for inclusion in the current TS‐MASEM ( N = 16,452). Results The results showed significant associations between fear of COVID‐19, stress, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, the mediation role of anxiety in the association between depression and fear of COVID‐19 and stress was explored. Conclusions Although the results did not allow for causal inferences regarding depression, they provide insight into the possible consequences of fear of COVID‐19 and comorbid problems for clinicians and researchers.

“…Numerous studies found the interaction effect of life events and dysfunctional attitudes consistently predicted depression 31 – 34 , however, the mediating effect of dysfunctional attitudes between stressful life events and depressive symptoms has not been explored. Furthermore, some studies revealed that dysfunctional attitudes mediated the relationship between individual factor, environmental factor and depressive symptoms 35 – 37 . Thus, it is reasonable that the relationship between stressful life events and depressive symptoms might be mediated by dysfunctional attitudes.…”

Stressful life events (SLEs) closely correlates with depressive symptoms. Although vulnerability-stress model suggests SLEs interacted with dysfunctional attitudes (DA) to predict depression, the mediation role of DA is poorly understood. Therefore, this study intended to investigate the mediating role of DA and the moderating role of sex between SLEs and self-reported depression. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with a sample of 7769 Chinese college students. Participants were assessed in terms of self-reported SLEs, DA and depression variables. Results showed that there were significant sex differences in both SLE and DA. DA mediated the association between SLE and self-reported depression. The moderated mediation model analysis showed that the interaction of SLEs and sex significantly predicted DA in mediator variable model and self-reported depression in dependent variable model. Results indicated that DA partially mediated the association between SLEs and self-reported depression, and sex moderates the association between SLEs and both DA and self-reported depression, which females have bigger changes of DA and depressive symptoms across low and high levels of SLEs than males.

“…In addition, previous findings show that individuals with phubbing behaviours use their phones as a tool in situations of loneliness, anger, worthlessness, anxiety, and stress (Karadağ et al, 2016). The relationship between depression, anxiety, and stress is considered a common ailment, and these addictions are frequently studied (Ha et al, 2006;Liao et al, 2018;Mamun et al, 2019;Odacı & Çıkrıkçı, 2021;Vally, 2019). In studies conducted in this context, depression, anxiety, and stress are among the causes of Internet addiction, phone addiction, social media addiction, and gambling addiction (Caplan, 2002;Li et al, 2019;Odacı & Çıkrıkçı, 2021).…”

This study aims to examine the association between phubbing in college students and mental health (depression, anxiety, and stress), the dimensions of the association, and the source of this association. The study has the characteristics of an explanatory sequential mixed design, in which qualitative data from mixed designs are interpreted to explain quantitative data. In the quantitative phase of the study, data were collected from 305 participants using the General Phubbing Scale and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21). In this phase, descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, regression analysis, and independent samples t-test were applied to the collected data. In the second phase, in which qualitative data were collected, data were gathered through focus group interviews with 12 participants who had participated in the quantitative phase of the study. From the quantitative results of the study, it was found that there was a positive and significant relationship between nomophobia, interpersonal conflict, self-isolation, and problem acceptance - the sub-dimensions of the Phubbing Scale - and anxiety, depression, and stress - the sub-dimensions of the DASS-21 Scale. However, mental health was found to predict phubbing behaviour. In terms of gender, it can be said that female students experience more phobia, anxiety, depression, and stress than male students. According to the results of the qualitative research phase, the participants of the focus group interview indicated that the individuals who exhibit phubbing behaviours are introverted, lonely and abandoned, shy, anxious, poor in communication, and technology dependent. In addition, reasons for interest in smartphones may include relaxation, boredom, avoiding people, escaping stress and depression, escaping negative situations, motivation, following the daily activities of others, or escaping chat environments that do not interest them and that they consider unimportant.
