Abstract: Based on the CBT framework, the current study explored the relationship between experience of negative life events and adolescent anxiety, which was mediated by rumination and moderated by meaning in life. A total of 1097 students from six middle schools of Shandong and Henan Province were recruited using cluster sampling. To assess the level of negative life events, rumination, meaning in life and anxiety, this study used the Stressful Life Events Scale, Ruminative Responses Scale, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and the Revised Meaning in Life Questionnaire, correspondingly. The results showed that: (1) Rumination partially mediated the relationship between negative life events and adolescent anxiety; (2) The association between rumination and anxiety was moderated by meaning in life. The results were explained and discussed to explain the occurrence mechanism of adolescent anxiety from the perspective of CBT model, which is usually an approach for interventional treatment after anxiety occurs.

Key words: negative life events, anxiety, rumination, meaning in life, cognitive behavioral therapy
