| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 教育研究所 === 101 === The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among personality traits, emotion regulation strategies and depression. The study adopted a method of questionnaire survey. Graduate students of Taipei and New Taipei City were targeted as population. 704 effective questionnaires were analyzed as research data. Instruments used in this study were “Mini Markers Scale”, “Emotion Regulation Scale” and “Taiwan Depression Scale”. The study was analyzed by descriptive statistics, Manova, Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple step-wise regression analysis. The main findings of this study were as follows:
1. 10.46% are reported potential depression patients of population.
2. Female graduate students get significantly higher score on “extraversion”, “agreeableness” and “emotion depression” while male graduate students get significantly higher score on “emotion stability” and “suppression”.
3. Public school students score significantly higher than private school students on “agreeableness” while private school students score significantly higher than their counterparts on “agreeableness”, “cognitive depression”, “emotion depression”, “physical depression” and the total score of depression.
4. Non-potential depression graduate students score significantly higher than potential depression graduate students on five personality traits, “reappraisal’ and “stay calm”.
5. Some dimensions of “personality traits”, “emotion regulation” and “depression” are correlated.
6. “Emotion stability”, “conscientiousness” and “extraversion” show negative prediction to the total score of depression.
7. “Emotion stability”, “conscientiousness”, “extraversion” and “reappraisal” show negative prediction to “cognitive depression”.
8. “Emotion stability”, “conscientiousness”, “calm down” and “agreeableness” show negative prediction to “emotion depression”.
9. “Emotion stability” and “conscientiousness” show negative prediction to “physical depression” while “agreeableness” shows positive prediction to “physical depression”.
10. “Extraversion”, “conscientiousness” and “emotion stability” show negative prediction to “interpersonal depression”.
Finally, after discussion, the researcher proposed some suggestions for educational instruction and future studies.
