Abstract: This study examined the possible meditational effects of anxiety, stress, and negative affect on the relationship between worry and depression among 117 university students. The results indicated that after controlling for anxiety, stress, and negative affect, worry continued to account for a significant proportion of the variance in depression. The results and suggestions for future research are discussed.
