Ideological commitment was found to be positively associated with stress ( ϭ .33, p Ͻ .01) and depression ( ϭ .25, p Ͻ .05). On the other hand, national attachment was found to be negatively associated with stress ( ϭ Ϫ.24, p Ͻ .05) and depression ( ϭ Ϫ.43, p Ͻ .001). A statistically significant interaction was found between national attachment and ideological commitment such that when ideological commitment was high, national attachment was associated with lower levels of depression, but when national attachment was low, ideological commitment was associated with higher levels of depression. Our findings are consistent with the conceptualization of a complex vulnerability-resilience dynamic in which different facets of political ideology may have complex and sometimes contradicting effects on psychological well-being.
