This research examines an interaction model in which self-orientation levels mediate the effects of perceived social support and general self-efficacy on depression level. Two dimensions of self orientation were included in this formulation: idiocentrism (the tendency to define oneself through self-attributes) and allocentrism (the tendency to define oneself in relation to others). We hypothesized that idiocentrism would interact with general self-efficacy and that allocentrism would interact with perceived social support to create an individual's depression level. The two hypotheses were tested using 85 low-socioeconomic-status Dominicans living in the United States by means of ANOVAs. No support wasfoundforeither hypothesis. Wefound, however; that this sample reported high levels of (a) depressive symptomatology and (b) allocentric orientation
