摘要：This study examined the influence of interpersonal stressors, and interpersonal stress coping methods, on depression among teachers. Interpersonal stressors include 1) interpersonal conflict; 2) interpersonal blunders; and 3) interpersonal friction. Interpersonal stress coping methods are 1) positive-relationship oriented; 2) negative-relationship oriented; or 3) postponed-solution oriented. Participants were 424 teachers from preschools, elementary/middle/high schools, and special needs schools. All three types of interpersonal stressors, and the negative-relationship oriented coping method, had significant and positive influences on depression. In contrast, the postponed-solution coping method had a significant and negative effect on depression.
