Countless, seminal theories support the importance of understanding the variables that co-occur with, and likely impact, depression, a multi-causal and often devastating psychological experience. The current study sought to provide a well-rounded illustration of the attachment styles, interpersonal problems, and coping styles that co-occur with depression and life satisfaction in college students. This study sought to replicate previous studies which found correlations between specific domains of coping and depression, as well as to examine whether coping styles were significantly correlated with life satisfaction, an aspect of subjective wellbeing. Regression analyses were also utilized to examine how well attachment style, interpersonal problems, and coping styles predict depressive symptoms and life satisfaction. Exploratory analyses also examined how specific coping skills and interpersonal problems correlated with depression and life satisfaction. The current study utilized a sample of 174 undergraduate and graduate students who were predominately Caucasian and female. Results found moderate, negative correlations between emotion- and problem-focused coping and depression; additionally, moderate-to-strong positive correlations were found between avoidance-coping and depression. Regression analyses revealed that attachment style, interpersonal problems, and avoidance-coping explained 39% of the variance in depressive symptoms. Attachment style, interpersonal problems, and emotion- and problem-focused coping explained 23% of the variance in life satisfaction. Exploratory results revealed that depression is most strongly, positively associated with behavior disengagement and problems being overly-accommodating; while, life satisfaction was found to be most strongly, positively correlated with positive reframing and use of emotional support and most strongly, negatively correlated with behavior disengagement. Various ways of conceptualizing these results and applying them to clinical settings are discussed.
