Gender Moderates the Mediation Effects of Some Repetitive Negative Thinking in the Relations Between Neuroticism and Both Stress and Well-Being

We studied gendered moderation of self-blame and venting (repetitive negative thinking) as concurrent mediators in the neuroticism – stress and neuroticism – well-being relations in 189 undergraduates. In the preceding relations, self-blame was a mediator only in women. Venting mediated the neuroticism – stress relationship in both men and women.
