This research study examined various factors associated with depressive symptoms. The sample of this research study was drawn from 10 social welfare centers for marriage-based immigrant women in Kyeonggi-do, and a total of 203 participants completed the survey. The findings of this research study showed that increased acculturative stress is associated with a high level of depression, and a higher perceived social support rate is associated with a low level of depression. This study also analyzed the effect of acculturative stress on depression by testing whether social support moderates or mediates this relationship. To examine whether social support could moderate or mediate the effects of acculturative stress on depression, hierarchical multiple regression and a series of regression analyses were conducted. The results of regression analysis showed a significant relationship between acculturative stress and depression that was mediated by perceived social support. Also, there was evidence in favor of the moderating role. Social support influenced the appraisals of stressful situations, which buffers the effect of acculturative stress on depression. Thus, social support is most beneficial in the presence of high levels of acculturative stress. Implications for the findings are discussed.
Abstract
This research study examined various factors associated with depressive symptoms.

The findings of this research study showed that increased acculturative stress is associated with a high level of depression, and a higher perceived social support rate is associated with a low level of depression. This study also analyzed the effect of acculturative stress on depression by testing whether social support moderates or mediates this relationship. To examine whether social support could moderate or mediate the effects of acculturative stress on depression, hierarchical multiple regression and a series of regression analyses were conducted. The results of regression analysis showed a significant relationship between acculturative stress and depression that was mediated by perceived social support. Also, there was evidence in favor of the moderating role. Social support influenced the appraisals of stressful situations, which buffers the effect of acculturative stress on depression. Thus, social support is most beneficial in the presence of high levels of acculturative stress. Implications for the findings are discussed.
