• Negative and positive emotionality (NE and PE) and effortful control (EC) are linked to depression.
• NE, PE, and EC may moderate one another’s association with depressive symptoms.
• Preliminary evidence supports a three-way (i.e., NE × PE × EC) interaction.
• We sought to replicate this interaction in five independent samples.
• Results support the replicability of this interaction and suggest it should be considered in theory and research.
High negative emotionality (NE), low positive emotionality (PE), and low self-regulatory capacity (i.e., effortful control or EC) are related to depressive symptoms and furthermore, may moderate one another’s relations to such symptoms. Indeed, preliminary evidence suggests they may operate in a three-way interaction (Dinovo & Vasey, 2011), but the replicability of that finding remains unknown. Therefore, we tested this NE × PE × EC interaction in association with depressive symptoms in 5 independent samples. This interaction was significant in 4 of the 5 samples and a combined sample and approached significance in the fifth sample. In contrast, the NE × PE × EC interaction was unrelated to general anxious symptoms and thus may be specific to symptoms of depression. Implications, directions for future research, and limitations are discussed.
