Abstract

Data from 663 college students showed resilience may play a buffering role in the effect of childhood trauma on depressive symptoms beyond demographic, sociopsychological, and physical health factors. These findings are relevant to the association between depression symptoms and childhood trauma and have implications for interventions targeting college students' resilience.
