The purpose of this study was to explore the predicting variables of anxiety and depression and reexaminate anxiety scale and depression scale used in this study. We measured 2 major variables, anxiety and depression, and 21 correlates from total 1010, male 545, female:465, freshman in Pusan University. The results of this study were as follows: 1) The predicting variables of anxiety were loneliness, stress, discontent and anger, expressing oneself, warmth parenting, and high school system. 2) The predicting variales of depression were loneliness, warmth parenting, discontent and anger, expressing oneself, and residence after entrance. 3) With reexamining anxiety scale and depression scale used in this study, we developed the short form of anxiety scale and depression scale composed of 10 items respectively. As a result of factor analysis of anxiety, factorl included 4items(1,2,4,5), thus was labeled as 'physiological arousal & subjective anxiety', factor2 included 4items(16,15,17,13), thus was labled as 'manifest anxiety 1', factor3 included 2items(12,11), thus was labeled as 'manifest anxiety2'. As a result of factor analysis of depression, we also extracted three factors from it.
Factor1 included 5items(12,11,21,15,14), thus was labeled as 'loss of interest & helplessness'. Factor2 included 2items(6,5), thus was labeled as 'guilty feeling'. Factor3 included 3items(19,18,20), thus was labeled as 'physical symptoms'.
