Savoring as a moderator between positive life events and hopelessness depression
We examined the relationships among savoring, positive life events, and hopelessness depression. Participants comprised 266 Chinese undergraduate college students who filled out 3 measures to assess savoring, positive life events, and hopelessness depression. Results showed that savoring
was negatively correlated with hopelessness depression and positively correlated with positive life events, and that savoring significantly moderated the relationship between positive life events and hopelessness depression. These findings indicate that savoring is a protective factor for
hopelessness depression. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
