Four functions were examined by which health and self-esteem could ward off depression over time in older adults. Adults (N= 1,074), 55 years and older, were interviewed 5 times at 6-mo intervals. Demographic and preevent depression controls were included. Neither health nor self-esteem served as an interactive buffer. Both had direct negative effects on depression, independent of events, over 2 yrs. Neither illnesses nor bereavements had direct effects on depression; both had indirect effects through other events; illness also had indirect effects by weakening health. Health had a stronger preventive effect on illnesses but was more vulnerable to undesirable events than was self-esteem. There was little support for the specificity hypothesis that a close match between event and resource would increase resource effects.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
