Objective External events affect individuals through their cognitive process, a model on how and when negative life events are associated with depressive symptoms was tested by considering individuals’ internal and external factors based on the conservation of resource theory (COR). Methods We conducted a survey to test our hypotheses. Participants were college students who were selected with the cluster sampling method and were asked to complete the scales measuring negative life events, perceived social support, psychological capital (PsyCap), rumination, and depressive symptoms in the classroom with a unit of class. A total of 764 questionnaires were distributed and returned, and 703 valid data were obtained finally. Results The present study found that (1) the relationship between negative life events and depressive symptoms was moderated by perceived social support negatively, such that the relationship was stronger with low perceived social support; (2) the relationship between negative life events and depressive symptoms was mediated by rumination; (3) the relationship between rumination and depressive symptoms was moderated by PsyCap negatively, such that the relationship was stronger with low PsyCap; (4) the indirect relationship between negative life events and depressive symptoms through rumination was moderated by PsyCap negatively, such that the indirect relationship got stronger with low PsyCap. Conclusion Rumination is an essential process for negative life events to affect depressive symptoms, PsyCap and perceived social support help alleviate the detrimental effect of negative life events from internal and external perspectives, respectively. Our research conclusion has a theoretical and practical implementation for reducing depressive symptoms in college students.

“… Taylor and Kluemper (2012) found that neurotics at a high level perceived more incivility in workplaces and behaved more aggressive during their work, while neurotics at a low level did not. A prior study found that neuroticism played a moderating role in the influence of stressful life events on aggression ( Sun et al, 2016 ). Accordingly, the following hypothesis is proposed:…”

Previous research has extended the stress literature by exploring the relationship between family incivility and cyberbullying perpetration, yet relatively less attention has been paid to underlying psychological mechanisms between that relationship among university students. According to the Frustration-Aggression Theory, this study examined the relationships of family incivility, cyberbullying perpetration, negative emotions and neuroticism among Chinese university students. Data were collected from 814 university students (females, N = 423; Mage = 19.96 years, SD = 3.09). The results examined the mechanism through which family incivility was significantly related to cyberbullying perpetration through the mediation of negative emotions, suggesting a strong link of stressful life events to online aggression. In addition, high levels of neuroticism moderated the relationship between family incivility and cyberbullying perpetration, as well as that between family incivility and negative emotions. The study revealed the chronic and potential impact of family incivility, underlined the interaction between stressful life events and online aggression, and put forward the intervention strategies of cyberbullying among university students.

“…Возможно, эти артефактные связи действуют по принципу гиперкомпенсации: антиципируя риски быстрого психического истощения от взаимодействия с другими, человек блокирует любые формы давления извне, в том числе с помощью «упреждающего» противостояния мнениям, ожиданиям и предложениям окружающих. Так, например, было обнаружено, что у молодых людей высокий уровень невротизации прогнозирует конфронтационные установки и агрессивное поведение (Sun et al, 2016).…”
