This naturalistic study explores connections between recovery from major depression and coping
abilities during a one year follow-up from base-line clinical examinations. The study group
comprised 145 Finnish psychiatric outpatients from Southwestern Finland, 18-62 years of age,
with major depression causing incapacity to work. Coping abilities were measured with
Antonovsky sense of coherence (SOC), Schwartzer general self-efficacy, Rosenberg self-esteem
and Beck hopelessness scales (BHS). Depression was studied with BDI, Ham-D and DSM-III-R.
The results showed that severity of depression was associated with deterioration in coping ability,
and recovery from major depression was clearly related to improvement in coping ability.

4132.1 A relational study on general self-efficacy, coping styles, and subjective well-being in
Chinese university students, Yuehua Tong, China
The present study was to investigate Chinese university students’ general self-efficacy, coping
styles and subjective well-being (SWB) and the relations among the three variables. Results
revealed that there were no significant gender differences in these three variables in Chinese
university students. Significant positive correlation was found among the three variables. Active
coping had significant positive correlation with SWB, while passive coping had significant
negative correlation with SWB. General self-efficacy and coping styles were predictors of SWB
and active coping was a mediator of SWB.
