- Abstract:
- Emerging adulthood is a period of instability and ambivalence. Many emerging adults who are enrolled in college face a number of stressors that make them vulnerable to depressive symptoms. This study was designed to examine the association between perceived discrimination, traumatic life events, and emotion regulatory processes in a diverse sample of emerging adults. Ethnic differences were examined in the sample. Findings suggest that White emerging adults reported lower levels of perceived discrimination compared to emerging adults of minority background. Results indicated that perceived discrimination, traumatic life events, and cognitive reappraisal were positively associated with depressive symptoms in this diverse sample of emerging adults. In contrast, a negative correlation was observed between emotional suppression and depressive symptoms. Current findings are informative for university counseling centers.
