Abstract

The influences of stress and depressive moods are notoriously and widely known to be harmful for an individual's psychological and physical well-being. College students are more at risk of experiencing stressful experiences and, therefore, susceptible to depressive moods. This paper examines the moderating effects of two psychological factors: 1) peer support and 2) self-efficacy separately on the relationship between stress and depressive moods. A total of 100 participants who were undergraduate Thai students attending international programs participated in the current study. The participants responded to the measures of depressive moods, stress, peer support and self-efficacy. Data analyses were conducted using bivariate correlations and standard moderated regression analyses. A significant moderating effect of peer support on the relationship between stress and depressive moods was found, with a stronger relationship for those with lower peer support. Self-efficacy also significantly moderated the link between stress and the moods, the relationship was stronger among participants who had lower self-efficacy. The results from this study helped fill the research gap for this particular sample and can be used to improve preventative and therapeutic interventions and strategies to help college students cope with stress and depressive moods.
