چکیده مقاله:
Introduction: Recent evidence show that depressive symptoms is becoming a concern among university students. However, possible determining factors of this psychopathology is under investigated, especially among university students. This study aimed to examine demographics, self-representation, and social comparison as determinants of depressive symptoms among university undergraduates.Method: This correlational study sampled ۲۹۹-undergraduate students of the University of Ilorin purposively (male ۶۶.۶% and ۴۴.۴% female) in ۲۰۲۱. A questionnaire-pack comprising of Iowa-Netherlands Comparison Orientation, Embodied Sense of Self, and Self-Rating Depression Scales were utilized to collect data while Pearson’s correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression were used to analyze the results.Results: Findings revealed a significant positive correlation between depressive symptoms, age, and social comparison; however, depression was negatively associated with self-representation. Additionally, results indicated three prediction steps; age, relationship status, and social comparison; social comparison and relationship status, and social comparison alone as predictors of depressive symptoms at ۰.۲۰%, ۱۹%, and ۱۷% variance respectively among participants.Conclusion: Age, relationship status, social comparison, and self-representation can be used to explain depressive symptoms among undergraduate students. University counseling services should build these factors into intervention when treating depression among students.
