“…The results of the present study also validated H2. First, the results showed that depression negatively predicts psychological resilience, which is consistent with previous studies ( Karasar and Canli, 2020 ) revealing that strong psychological resilience may alleviate depression ( Taheri-Kharameh and Hazavehei, 2017 ). In other words, psychological resilience has been shown to have an important adaptive, regulatory function in recovery from depression ( Li et al, 2015 ; Wojujutari et al, 2019 ) by allowing individuals’ resistance and self-protection to come into play ( Rutter, 2018 ).…”

“…Evidences suggest that psychological resilience is a significant moderator against depression brought on by stressors ( Luthar and Cicchetti, 2000 ). In the case of COVID-19, a global disaster, the depressive emotion is evident in the population, with a high prevalence of depression in college students and a moderate negative correlation between psychological resilience and depression ( Taheri-Kharameh and Hazavehei, 2017 ; Karasar and Canli, 2020 ). Psychological resilience may be able to play an important role in human readjustment in the post-epidemic era, which can help individuals deal with depression, anxiety and other mood disorders that affect mental health ( Osofsky et al, 2011 ; Shenesey and Langhinrichsen-Rohling, 2015 ).…”

Purpose: The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which has had a significant impact on people’s lives, has apparently increased the incidence of depression. Although the topic of how depression affects creativity is contested, previous research has revealed a significant relationship between the two. The purpose of this study is to further investigate the relationship and the mechanisms that operate between depression and creativity.Methods: A total of 881 students at an independent college in China completed a questionnaire consisting of the Self-Reported Depression Scale, Runco Ideational Behavior Scale, Psychological Resilience Scale, Deliberate Rumination Scale and demographic information. Among the respondents, 317 (36.0%) were male and 564 (64.0%) were female, all of whom were from the same grade. Correlation analyses were conducted, and then the researchers carried out mediation analysis and developed a moderated mediation model.Results: The results indicated that (a) depression was positively related to creativity (r = 0.085, p < 0.05); (b) psychological resilience mediated the relationship between depression and creativity; specifically, psychological resilience was negatively related to depression (r = −0.462, p < 0.01), which in turn was positively related to creativity (r = 0.198, p < 0.01); and (c) deliberate rumination moderated the relationship between depression and psychological resilience, showing a significant negative correlation with depression (r = 0.138, p < 0.01), psychological resilience (r = 0.078, p < 0.05), and creativity (r = 0.288, p < 0.05); specifically, higher levels of deliberate rumination strengthened the negative correlation between psychological resilience and depression.Conclusion: The results suggest that depression is a positive predictor of creativity and may promote creativity to some extent. Further, individuals with greater psychological resilience are more creative than those with less psychological resilience, as it is a question of whether they can and to what extent they can effectively use depression as an emotional resource. Last, an individual’s level of deliberate rumination moderates the mediating process, especially at the stage where depression is associated with psychological resilience. These findings advance understanding of the mechanisms that operate between depression and creativity.
