Abstract
This research will analyze self-report data collected from N = 2,500 undergraduate students to determine whether interacting depression and anxiety symptoms contribute to increasing psychological pain, or whether depression symptoms are a contributing factor. Psychological pain frequently co-occurs with depression; however, anxiety and depression also co-occur at very high rates, but minimal research has focused on studying psychological pain and anxiety. We plan to investigate how psychological pain decreases subjective wellbeing beyond the impact of depression and anxiety symptoms. Data analyses will be conducted in R, and analytic methods will involve correlations and regression analyses to evaluate the research aims.
