Results The CES - D score was positively related to ASLEC score ( r = 0. 271 , P < 0. 05) , while the CES - D score was negatively related to the three dimensions scores of SSRS ( r = - 0. 127, - 0. 239, - 0. 215, P < 0. 05 ) . The mediating effect of subjective support between negative life events and depressive mood was significant ( P < 0. 01 ) , and the moderating effect of subjective support and objective support between negative life events and depressive mood was significant ( P < 0. 05 or 0. 01 ) .
