This study sought to document culturally influenced variations in depressive symptomatology and vulnerability to depression in college students of Japanese and Chinese ancestry. An attempt was made to identify stressful events, chronic stressors, social support patterns, and health beliefs associated with different constellations of depressive symptoms expressed across a range of acculturation levels. Self-report questionnaires were administered to 230 college students of Chinese and Japanese ancestry. Questionnaires included the Beck Depression Inventory, the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale and the SCL-90, to assess the broadest range of depressive symptoms. The Life Experiences Survey (Sarason, et al.) measured stressful events; separate instruments measured the vulnerability dimensions of chronic and acculturative stress, social support and health beliefs. An Ethnic Identity Questionnaire was devised to measure levels of acculturation. Interviews used the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia - Lifetime Version to cross-validate the self-report questionnaire assessments in a subsample of 50 students. The results provided limited support for the hypotheses regarding cultural influences in either symptomatology or vulnerability. The only unequivocally confirmed prediction relating to acculturation was that higher levels of chronic acculturative stress were associated with higher depression scores. Symptom reports were similar across all levels of acculturation, and both the social support variables and health beliefs most strongly associated with depression were uncorrelated with level of acculturation. The multiple regression models predicting depression from stress and vulnerability variables provided only a fair fit with the data, accounting for 38% and 29% of the variance in Beck and Zung depression scores, respectively. Although both regression models included predictor variables representing social support, health beliefs, chronic stress, and chronic acculturative stress, only one included episodic events as a predictor. The results are discussed in relation to emic versus etic approaches to understanding illness and behavior.
