“…Thirdly, the results did not support the positive association between cyber victimization and depression. These results, however, are different from studies that reported significant associations between these two variables [ 19 , 22 , 44 ]. A possible reason behind this is an indirect rather than a direct effect of cybervictimization on depression, where the association between these two variables was mediated or partially mediated through other variables.…”

“…Researchers have reported associations between cybervictimization and depression [ 19 , 22 , 44 ], cybervictimization and coping [ 35 , 38 , 45 ], and coping and depression [ 20 , 41 ]. Findings also suggested a mechanism that linked the three variables.…”

“…Studies have found associations between cybervictimization and depression [ 19 , 44 ], associations between cybervictimization and coping strategies [ 35 , 45 ], and an association between coping strategies and depression [ 13 , 20 ]. However, to our knowledge, only a few studies used the transactional model of stress and coping theory to examine coping strategies that are possible mediators of the effects of cybervictimization on depression.…”

Studies have shown the relationships among cybervictimization, coping strategies, and depression, but no study has examined the mechanism that links the three variables. Accordingly, this study used the transactional model of stress and coping theory as a conceptual framework and proposed that coping strategies are mediators for the effects of cybervictimization on depression. A total of 387 adolescents were recruited by using the purposive sampling method. The results showed that cybervictimization is not directly associated with depression. All the coping strategies are found to be associated with cybervictimization, but only the avoidant coping strategy is the statistical mediator for the effects of cybervictimization on depression. This study’s findings suggest that the transactional model of stress and coping theory may provide a framework in the area of cyberbullying and recommend more actions to be taken in order to reduce the use of avoidance coping strategies among victims of cyberbullying.

“…First, we only conducted two waves of investigations. Although previous studies have suggested that two waves of research can also be used to test the mediation effect ( 78 ), since there is no continuous time relationship between PMPU, resilience, and eating disorder symptoms in the two waves of the present study, the mediating effect of resilience has a certain limitation. In the future, three waves of longitudinal study will be needed to test whether the mediating role of resilience can be replicated.…”

A previous cross-sectional study found that problematic mobile phone use (PMPU) was associated with students' eating disorder symptoms. However, since the cross-sectional study cannot infer the causality and the direction of effect, the longitudinal relationship between the two and the mechanism behind this relationship are unclear. Therefore, the present study explores the prospective association between PMPU and eating disorder symptoms and related mediation mechanisms using a 1-year longitudinal study of 1,181 college students (from December 2019 [T1] to December 2020 [T2]). Survey tools used include the Mobile Phone Addiction Tendency Scale, the 10-item Connor-Davidson resilience scale, and the 12 item Short Form of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire. The longitudinal relationship between PMPU and eating disorder symptoms and the mediating effect of resilience was analyzed using a cross-lagged model. The results showed that PMPU (β = 0.086, P < 0.01) and resilience (β = −0.145, P < 0.01) at T1 predicted eating disorder symptoms at T2, but not vice versa. PMPU was bidirectionally associated with resilience, and the prediction effect of PMPU at T1 to resilience at T2 (β = −0.151, P < 0.001) was higher than the prediction effect of resilience at T1 to PMPU at T2 (β = −0.134, P < 0.001). The standardized indirect effect of PMPU at T1 on eating disorder symptoms at T2 via resilience was significant (β = 0.022, 95% CI = 0.010~0.040, P < 0.001). Therefore, PMPU and resilience were predictive for eating disorder symptoms in college students, and resilience may play a mediating role in the prospective association between PMPU and eating disorder symptoms. This study provides new ideas and higher-level evidence for the development of prevention and intervention measures for college students' eating disorder symptoms.

“…Given pandemic-related changes in the ways people interact, understanding social mechanisms and moderators in the link between stress and depression has become imperative. Thus, several recent studies examined stress-depression associations in the context of peer, romantic, and family relationships [26][27][28][29]30 && ,31]. Many of these studies focused on adolescents, which is consistent with evidence that adolescence is a window wherein harmful impacts of stress may be ameliorated via supportive caregiving [32].…”

Purpose of reviewStress plays a central role in the onset and course of depression. However, only a subset of people who encounter stressful life events go on to experience a depressive episode. The current review highlights recent advances in understanding when, why, and for whom the stress-depression link occurs, and we identify avenues for future research.Recent findingsIn the last 18 months, researchers have taken a more nuanced perspective on the biopsychosocial mechanisms critical to the stress–depression link. For example, examination of specific facets of emotion regulation, including emotion regulation flexibility and interpersonal emotion regulation, has been critical to understanding its role in depression. Similarly, refined investigations of social support allowed researchers to identify distinct – and occasionally opposite – outcomes depending on the context or manner in which the support was provided. Researchers also documented that the stress–depression link was enhanced by dysregulation of several stress-sensitive biological systems, such as the immune system, microbiome, endocrine system, and neuroanatomical substrates.SummaryRecent studies highlight the importance of adopting a nuanced understanding of mechanisms and moderators that explain the stress–depression link. We also encourage continued engagement in collaborative, open science that uses multiple methods to study the full breadth of human diversity.
