<p>The purpose of the present study was to examine depression and social disability among Japanese high school students who experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake and tested if cognitive behavioral factors were related to depression and social disability. Two hundred and five students (160 female, <i>M age</i> = <i>16.2 years</i>, <i>SD</i> = <i>0.4</i>) who experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake were administered the Impact of Event Scale–Revised, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale, Sheehan Disability Scale, Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire–Revised, Behavioral Activation for Depression Scale, and Environmental Reward Observation Scale(EROS). More participants had depression than post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD) symptoms. Partial correlation analysis found that depression was positively correlated with social disability. Multiple regression analysis found that, regarding cognitive factors, "negative evaluation of the future" was positively correlated with depression and social disability, whereas "positive thinking" was negatively correlated with depression. Regarding behavioral factors, "avoidance/rumination" and "social impairment" were positively correlated with depression, "school impairment" was positively correlated with social disability, whereas EROS was negatively correlated with depression and social disability. These findings suggest that interventions to reduce depression are necessary after natural disasters. Specifically, interventions should target cognitive behavioral factors to reduce depression and improvement of social disability.</p>
