  ABSTRACT: This study aims to examine the influence of parental care/control on depressive symptoms and the mediating roles of neuroticism and social support in their association among Chinese college students during the COVID-19. A sample of 2561 college students with an age range of 16 - 26 (Mage = 18.37, SD = 1.13, 29.05% boys) completed the care and control subscales of the Parental Bonding Instrument, the Beck Depression Inventory-II, the neuroticism scale of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, and the Social Support Rating Scale. Structural equation models indicated that parental care/control negatively/ positively predicted depressive symptoms. Furthermore, neuroticism and social support mediated the relationship between parental care/control and depressive symptoms, separately and sequentially. These findings may advance our understanding of the influences of multiple factors on Chinese college students’ depressive symptoms under the background of COVID-19.
