Title: The Role of Social Support in the Relationship between Stress and Depression among College
Students

Author: John Doe

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the role of social support in the relationship
between stress and depression among college students. A sample of 200 college students completed a
survey that included measures of stress, social support, and depression. Results indicated that social
support moderated the relationship between stress and depression, such that the relationship was
weaker for individuals with higher levels of social support. Implications for intervention and future
research are discussed.

Introduction: The transition to college is often a stressful time for many students. Stressful life events,
such as academic pressures, financial concerns, and social isolation, can lead to depression among
college students (Alonso et al., 2018). Social support has been identified as a protective factor against
depression (Hammen, 2019), and may play an important role in buffering the effects of stress on mental
health (Cohen & Wills, 1985). However, the specific mechanisms underlying the relationship between
stress, social support, and depression among college students are not well understood. The current
study seeks to address this gap in the literature by examining the role of social support in the
relationship between stress and depression among college students.

Method: Participants were 200 college students (100 male, 100 female) who were recruited from a large
public university in the United States. Participants completed a survey that included measures of stress,
social support, and depression. Stress was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen et al., 1983),
social support was assessed using the Social Support Questionnaire (Sarason et al., 1987), and
depression was assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (Radloff, 1977).
Data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression.

Results: Results indicated that social support moderated the relationship between stress and depression
(β = -.21, p < .05), such that the relationship was weaker for individuals with higher levels of social
support. Specifically, for individuals with high levels of social support, the relationship between stress
and depression was not significant (β = .03, p > .05), whereas for individuals with low levels of social
support, the relationship between stress and depression was significant (β = .51, p < .001).

Discussion: The current study provides evidence that social support plays an important role in buffering
the effects of stress on depression among college students. These findings have important implications
for intervention, as interventions that promote social support may be effective in reducing depression
among college students. Future research should investigate the specific mechanisms underlying the
relationship between social support, stress, and depression, and should explore the potential for
interventions that promote social support to prevent and treat depression among college students.

Title: The Benefits of Yoga for Stress Relief

Author: Jane Smith

Introduction: With our busy lives and constant demands, it's no surprise that stress has become a
common occurrence. From work to family responsibilities and everything in between, it can be difficult
to find time to relax and unwind. Fortunately, there are many ways to manage stress, and one of the
most effective is yoga.

Body: Yoga is a mind-body practice that combines physical postures, breathing techniques, and
meditation. It has been shown to have numerous benefits for stress relief, including:

Reducing cortisol levels: Cortisol is a hormone that is released in response to stress. High levels of
cortisol can lead to a range of health problems, including anxiety, depression, and weight gain. Yoga has
been shown to reduce cortisol levels, which can help to alleviate these symptoms.

Improving mood: Yoga has been shown to increase levels of the neurotransmitter GABA, which is
associated with feelings of calm and relaxation. It also increases levels of serotonin, which is involved in
regulating mood.

Enhancing relaxation: Yoga promotes relaxation and reduces muscle tension, which can help to alleviate
physical symptoms of stress such as headaches and back pain.

Increasing mindfulness: Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment and non-
judgmentally aware of one's thoughts and feelings. Yoga encourages mindfulness by focusing on the
breath and physical sensations in the body.

Conclusion: Incorporating yoga into your daily routine can be an effective way to manage stress and
improve overall well-being. Whether you attend a class or practice at home, the benefits of yoga for
stress relief are clear. So why not give it a try and see how it can help you?
