Mediating Effect of Anxiety on the Relationship Between Depression and Indecisiveness Through Graphological Emotional Indicators
Journal Title: Academy of Education and Social Sciences Review - Year 2025, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Depression, anxiety, and indecisiveness are the intercorrelated psychological aspects. They strongly affect the overall well-being of a person (physically and psychologically). This quantitative study aimed to examine the mediating role of anxiety on the relationship between depression and indecisiveness through graphological indicators by giving the importance of graphology in the field of mental health. It was hypothesized that anxiety would mediate the relationship between depression and indecisiveness via graphological indicators. Eighty-nine participants, with ages ranging from 19 to 38 years old, were recruited as a sample of the study through convenient sampling. A list of graphological indicators from the graphological manuals and books has been prepared to measure Depression, Anxiety, and Indecisiveness. The analysed data revealed a significant positive relationship between anxiety, depression, and indecisiveness. Further, it has been revealed that anxiety and depression positively predicted indecisiveness. Hence, it proved the mediating role of anxiety on the relationship between depression and indecisiveness via graphological indicators. Handwriting analysis, being a promising field in mental health, faces challenges that need to be targeted to develop more clear and objective tools of graphological indicators.
