The Moderating Role of the Locus of Control in the Relationship between Anger Rumination and Depression in Patients with Major Depression Disorder
Message:
Abstract:
Anger rumination and the personal belief on how to (internally and externally) control the affairs are among the important factors influencing people’s mental health. The present research aims to study the moderating role of the locus of control in the relationship between anger rumination and depression in a sample of patients with major depression disorder. The subjects included 127 patients (81 men, 45 women) with major depression disorder. They were asked to complete the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Anger Rumination Scale (ARS) and Rotter΄s Locus of Control Scale (I-E). The data were analyzed using various statistical indicators such as frequency, percent, mean, standard deviation, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multivariate regression analysis. The results showed that there was a significant positive relationship between anger rumination as well as the external locus of control and the levels of depression. Moreover, there was a negative relationship between the internal locus of control and the levels of depression. The regression analysis showed that locus of control had a significant role in the relationship between anger rumination and depression levels. In other words, the deeper the locus of control was, the weaker the relationship between anger rumination and depression became. Therefore, the results indicated that the external locus of control and anger rumination were the most important factors in predicting depression, and had a positive relationship with the severity of depression.
