“…Moreover, social capital is higher in urban areas, and higher social capital means that individuals have access to more resources in the group, thus increasing resilience. 53 According to the data analyzed in this study, freshmen and sophomores have higher interpersonal sensitivity scores than juniors, which may be because freshmen and sophomores have not yet fully adapted to the new university environment and are not good at communicating with unfamiliar people, so interpersonal relationships are slow to be established, whereas most of the juniors have established stable interpersonal relationships after a longer accumulation of time. Meanwhile, a study shows that interpersonal sensitivity is related to family factors 54 however, most freshmen and sophomores live alone for a shorter period of time than juniors, and they may be more dependent on their families and have higher separation anxiety, and the absence of their parents for a short period of time does not allow them to make close friends, which will make them feel lonely, and the higher the loneliness, the higher the interpersonal sensitivity.…”

Purpose Current interpersonal sensitivity among college students is easily linked to mood disorders such as anxiety, depression and other mood disorders. This study aims to examine the mediating role of psychological capital and its dimensions in the relationship between interpersonal sensitivity and depressive symptoms among undergraduates. Methods The cross-sectional survey was conducted by using cluster stratified random sampling method across six Chinese universities between November and December 2022. The questionnaire consists of the Interpersonal Sensitivity sub-scale, the Patient Health Questionnaire, the Psychological Capital Questionnaire and the Socio-Demographic Feature Questionnaire. Results A total of 2580 respondents participated in the survey, with the majority being females (69.73%) and an average age of 19.22±1.28 years. Descriptive and correlation analyses were performed using SPSS v24.0, while direct and indirect effects were analyzed using PROCESS v3.4 macro. The findings revealed that interpersonal sensitivity had a significant direct effect on depression symptoms among undergraduates (β =0.416, 95% Boot CI [0.380, 0.453], p < 0.001) Additionally, psychological capital and its components were found to be negatively correlated with depression (p < 0.001). Further analysis demonstrated that hope, optimism, and resilience significantly mediated the association between interpersonal sensitivity and depressive symptoms (indirect effect: hope = 0.056, optimism = 0.074, resilience = 0.099; p < 0.001 for all). Conclusion These results suggest that psychological capital, including its dimensions of hope, optimism, and resilience plays a crucial role in mitigating the negative effects of interpersonal sensitivity on depressive symptoms among undergraduates.

“…Conservation of resources theory (Egozi Farkash et al, 2022) suggests that the resources an individual possesses do not exist independently of each other but are interconnected and that low self-esteem is associated with lower self-e cacy. Moreover, social capital is higher in urban areas, and higher social capital means that individuals have access to more resources in the group, thus increasing resilience (Parvin et al, 2023).…”
