The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of emotional trauma in childhood on the depression and anxiety level for college students and to determine how the depression and anxiety level for college students depended on their ego-resilience. 444 students at three colleges in Daegu and Gyeongsan, North Gyeongsang Province were sampled to collect data through a survey, To assess the moderating effects of ego-resilience on the effects of emotional trauma in childhood on the depression and anxiety level for college students, multiple regression analysis was performed by hierarchically inputting the terms of interaction between emotional trauma and ego-resilience. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: First, the more emotional trauma the college students had in childhood, the more depressed they were. Second, the more emotional trauma the college students had in childhood, the more anxious they were. Third, as for the moderating effects of ego-resilience on the association between emotional trauma in childhood and the depression level for college students, the effects of emotional trauma in childhood on the depression level were significantly moderated by ego-resilience. Fourth, as for the moderating effects of ego-resilience on the association between emotional trauma in childhood and the anxiety level for college students, the effects of emotional trauma in childhood on the anxiety level were significantly moderated by ego-resilience.
