Depression, General Self-Efficacy, Social SupportAbstract
Depression is a common psychological problem among college students, and its incidence has increased gradually in recent years. Studies have shown that self-efficacy is significantly negatively correlated with depression, and social support is significantly negatively correlated with depression. This paper mainly summarizes the status quo of depression, self-efficacy and social support of college students in existing studies, and summarizes the corresponding intervention programs. It provides a theoretical basis for further research.
