摘要
全球的經濟蕭條、政局動盪和現代繁忙的生活壓力、烘托出一個人心惶惶、興致低迷的憂鬱世代，加上媒體呈現了一個負面的憂鬱症圖像，因此本研究欲探討這些憂鬱症認知如何形塑民眾的憂鬱症風險感知，又有那些因素影響了民眾的憂鬱症風險感知？
本研究一方面從憂鬱症認知及訊息接收探究風險感知的影響，另一方面從個人樂觀特質來評估對風險感知的影響。主要以網路為發放問卷管道，共計回收300份有效問卷。研究結果發現，民眾對於憂鬱症的風險感知仍偏低，大多認為自己罹患憂鬱症的機率不大。在影響因素的預測力上，個人樂觀態度最顯著影響了民眾的風險感知，其後則是個人經驗，反之，風險知識以及新聞暴露對風險感知影響力甚小。
關鍵字：憂鬱症、風險感知、風險知識、樂觀、新聞暴露。
