Abstract EN

The qi stagnation constitution is associated with depression in traditional Chinese medicine.

It is unclear how rumination and stressful life events affect the relationship between the qi stagnation constitution and depression.

The Qi Stagnation Constitution Scale, Ruminative Response Scale, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, and Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Checklist were used to assess this association in 1200 female college students.

The results revealed that the qi stagnation constitution was positively associated with depression.

Furthermore, rumination was a partial mediator of the relationship between the qi stagnation constitution and depression.

In addition, stressful life events moderated the direct effect and mediating effect of the qi stagnation constitution on depression.

These findings indicate that rumination and stressful life events may affect the relationship between the qi stagnation constitution and depression in women.
