“…These findings align with several other studies that have shown that among Korean university students, female showed lower self-esteem (Jeon & Bae, 2007;M. Kim, 2012) and more depression compared with males (Shim, 2016).…”

“…Nonetheless, there has been no research related to the association among the three constructs (i.e., spiritual well-being, self-esteem, and depression) using a Korean seminarian sample. In addition, statistically significant gender differences in self-esteem and depression have been reported, with women being more susceptible to depression (Blazer et al, 1994; Kessler, 2003) and having lower self-esteem compared with men (Jeon & Bae, 2007; M.

Spirituality and depression have been studied in relation to mental health for many years, but not in the context of Korean seminarians. This study explored the association between spiritual well-being, depression, and self-esteem—the latter playing a mediating role—using a sample of Korean Protestant College seminarians. In addition, gender differences in the values of variables were examined using the latent mean analysis (LMA) method; the mediational pathway from spiritual well-being to depression via self-esteem was investigated through the multigroup structural model analysis. A total of 434 seminarians from one Baptist theological university/seminary and one Presbyterian college in South Korea responded to survey questions about spiritual well-being—it was categorized into religious well-being (RWB) and existential well-being (EWB)—self-esteem, and depression. Male seminarians ( N = 177) obtained a higher mean score on a measure of self-esteem; female seminarians ( N = 246) obtained a higher mean score on a measure of depression. EWB had a significant direct effect on self-esteem and depression in both groups. However, EWB had a significant indirect effect on depression via self-esteem as a mediator only for female seminarians. Meanwhile, RWB did not influence self-esteem or depression in either group. Implications based on these findings are discussed.

“…It has been reported that rates of depression and self-esteem differ by gender. Women were more susceptible to depression and their self-esteem was lower than male students (Jeon & Bae, 2007). For women, it has specifically been reported that low academic achievement, insufficient future plans, limited personal relationships, and low self-esteem were factors affecting depression, because women expended a great deal of energy deciding on a future career and performing expected roles in the period from the end of adolescence to early adulthood (Beeber, 1996).…”

Purpose:The purposes of this study were to identify factors affecting depression in college students and the correlation of depression with self-esteem and academic stress, and to identify differences among student self-esteem, academic stress, and general characteristics and the relationship of these variables to depression. Methods: The study was done in April 2011 with 852 students in health-related majors (medicine, nursing science, and dental hygiene) of a medical college in Korea. A self-rating survey containing 10 items from the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, 20 items from the Self-rating Depression Scale, and 22 items on academic stress was used. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and logistic regression. Results: Medical students' scores for self-esteem were significantly higher than dental hygiene students, but for academic stress scores, the result was the opposite. Logistic regression showed that self-esteem, academic stress, academic major and satisfaction with it (positive affect), and home income level (negative affect) significantly affected the level of depression. Conclusion: Designing and implementing realistic programs tailored to students' academic majors to enhance their self-esteem and provide practical knowledge in dealing with academic stress will help these students obtain a healthier school life emotionally as well as academically.
