Methods A set of questionnaire assessing coping patterns coping flexibility and depressive symptoms were administered to 428 students 234 men and 194 women . Results A total of 266 participants both completed the entire set of questionnaires and reported a frequency of two or more stressful life events the criterion needed to calculate variance in perceived controllability . Findings showed that higher levels of depressive symptoms were significantly associated with higher levels of both event frequency r .368 p .001 and event impact r .245 p .001 and lower levels of perceived controllability r -.261 p .001 coping effectiveness r -.375 p .001 and ratio of strategy to situation fit r -.108 p .05 . Depressive symptoms were not significantly associated with cognitive flexibility variance of perceived controllability r .031 p .527 Gender was not a significant moderator of any of the reported associations. Conclusions Findings indicate that Chinese university students with depressive symptoms reported experiencing a greater number of negative events than did non-depressed university students. In addition undergraduates with depressive symptoms were more likely than other undergraduates to utilize maladaptive coping methods. Such findings highlight the potential importance of interventions aimed at helping undergraduate students with a lower coping flexibility develop skills
