Abstract Objective To explore the effects of non-adaptive cognition and mindfulness on the relation between Qi depression constitution and depression in college students. Methods In this study, 891 college students were investigated with center for epidemiologic studies depression scale (CES-D), Qi depression constitution scale of constitution in Chinese medicine questionnaire (CCMQ), non-adaptive cognitive scale (NACS), and mindful attention awareness scale (MAAS). The mediating effect was tested by the test procedure of mediation based on structural equation. The moderating effect was tested by latent moderated structural (LMS) equation and simple slope analysis. Results After controlling gender, birthplace, and grade, Qi depression constitution had a significant predictive effect on depression of college students (P＜0.001). The mediation analysis showed that Qi depression constitution indirectly affected depression through mediating effect of non-adaptive cognition, and the ratio of the mediating effect to the total effect was 17.21%. The moderated mediation analysis further showed that mindfulness moderated the first stage (P＜0.001) and residual direct stage (P＜0.001) of the mediating effect of “Qi depression constitution → non-adaptive cognition → depression”. Conclusion Qi depression constitution has a direct effect on depression and an indirect effect through non-adaptive cognition. The mediating effect of non-adaptive cognition is moderated by mindfulness.
