The relationship between depression and psychological well-being: Exploring the path through experience avoidance, nonacceptance of positive emotion, prioritizing of positivity

Objectives To explore the path through which depression contribute to the decrease in psychological well-being, this study examined the validity of a path model that depression leads to psychological well-being through experiential avoidance, nonacceptance of positive emotion, prioritizing of positivity. Methods Depression, avoidance of experience, nonacceptance of positive emotions, prioritizing of positivity, and psychological well-being were measured for 366 undergraduate students. The correlation between variables was analyzed. After item parcel, model fit and significance of paths between latent variables were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results First, there was no significant correlation between experiential avoidance and prioritizing of positivity, but there were significant correlations between depression, experiential avoidance, nonacceptance of positive emotion, prioritizing of positivity, and psychological well-being. Second, the indirect pathways from depression to experiential avoidance, nonacceptance of positive emotion, prioritizing of positivity, and psychological well-being were found to be significant. Conclusions These results suggest that acceptance of positive emotions and pursuit of positive experiences are necessary to prevent a decrease in psychological well-being due to depression. Finally, the implications and suggestions of this study are discussed.
