Background
The prevalence of depression symptoms is increasing and has widespread destructive effects on individuals and the society. Identifying the risk and protective factors and understanding the process of developing depressive symptoms is essential for timely prevention and early intervention measures. The aim of this study was to investigate the moderating role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies in the relationship between stressful events and depression symptoms.Methods and Materials: The statistical population consisted of undergraduate students; from among them 357 individuals were selected using stratified random sampling method.

Conclusions
Individuals who use adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies to a greater extent after experincing stressful life events, show fewer depression symptoms. Conversely, individuals, who use these strategies to a lesser extent after stressful life events, show more depression symptoms. Accordingly, intervention and prevention programs for depression symptoms should have special attention to the education and promotion of adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies.Keywords:
