“…Results demonstrated that there was a moderate and negative relationship between PWBS and BDI scores and a weak and negative correlation between PWBS and BAI scores. This result was consistent with another study that reported that the psychological well‐being indicators such as autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relationships with others, purpose in life and self‐acceptance showed a moderately negative correlation with depression and anxiety in Japanese university students . Another study reported that psychological well‐being decreased as anxiety and depressive symptoms increased .…”

Purpose The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between depression, anxiety, cognitive distortions, and psychological well‐being among nursing students. Design and Methods This descriptive, correlational, cross‐sectional study was conducted with 330 nursing students. Data were collected using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the Cognitive Distortion Scale (CDS), and the Psychological Well‐being Scale (PWBS). Findings The PWBS negatively correlated with the BDI, BAI, and CDS (P < .05). Preoccupation with danger was the strongest predictor, followed by hopelessness, self‐blame, total CDS and BDI (P < .05). Practice Implications Nursing students should be evaluated for psychological well‐being to prevent psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety and depression.

“…In a Japanese context, PWB was negatively correlated with anxiety and depression among undergraduate students (Kitamura et al 2004;Liu et al 2009). These findings indirectly support the buffering hypothesis that those low in PWB may be at risk of developing emotional disorders.…”

Well-Being and Generalized Anxiety in Japanese Undergraduates: A Prospective Cohort Study

Psychological well-being is thought to protect against common mental health problems. This study investigated the buffering effects of psychological well-being on the relationships between cognitive vulnerabilities (fear of anxiety and negative beliefs about worry) and GAD symptoms among 297 Japanese undergraduates (female = 62%, age = 18.91 ± 1.61) in a two-wave prospective cohort study. Participants completed the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire for DSM-IV, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, anxiety control subscale of Affective Control Scale, negative belief about worry subscale of Meta-Cognitions Questionnaire, and Nishida's psychological well-being scale. A moderated regression analysis tested the buffering effect of psychological well-being sub-dimensions on the relationship between cognitive vulnerabilities and generalized anxiety symptoms.

“…Much research has found mastery to be favorably related to aspects of mental well-being such as depression (e.g., Rubio and Lubin 1986), anxiety (Holder and Levi 1988), and psychiatric symptomatology (Liu et al 2009;Dag 1999) as well as to physical health outcomes (Lachman 2006). These associations have been documented in many populations, including college students.…”

Development of Self-regulation Abilities as Predictors of Psychological Adjustment Across the First Year of College

2011

The first year of college can be a difficult developmental transition for many students, although it is also a time of personal growth and maturation. Little is known about how self-regulation abilities mature across this transition, nor whether maturation predicts better adjustment across the first year. We investigated the development of three self-regulation abilities (constructive thinking, emotional regulation, and mastery) and relations of this development to adjustment (depression, anxiety, and stress) in a sample of 162 first-year students. Data were gathered at two time points: just prior to their attendance at a large public northeastern university and then again at the end of the first year. Results indicated that, on average, students did not increase in their constructive thinking or emotion regulation abilities and actually decreased in their sense of mastery. In bivariate analyses, increases in all three self-regulation abilities were related to better adjustment across the year, effects that remained when examined simultaneously in multiple regression analyses. Further, analyses showed that change in self-regulation abilities, rather than mean levels per se, predicted changes in adjustment over the first year. Implications for interventions to assist students in the development of these selfregulation skills in regard to adjustment are discussed.

Psychological well-being, depression, and anxiety in Japanese university students

Abstract: SPWB is a reliable measure of well-being for Japanese young adults, and the negative affectivity such as depression and anxiety is to some extent determined by the lack of psychological well-being.
