ABSTRACT
This
study examined the direct and interactive effects of appraised stress and
dispositional optimism in predicting symptoms of depression and anxiety among
college students. Consistent with a stress-buffering hypothesis, the results
suggest that students’ appraised stress, depressive symptoms, and anxiety are
moderated by optimism. The utility of this research for reducing symptoms of
depression and anxiety among students rests on the modifiability of appraised
stress by the promotion of an adaptive, future-oriented perspective (i.e.,
optimism).
