Coyne's (1976b) interpersonal theory of depression postulated that the combination of depressive symptoms and excessive reassurance-seeking leads to interpersonal problems (e.g., loneliness, devaluation). The present study is one of the first to test this model among youth, particularly a clinical sample of youth. Sixty-eight youth psychiatric inpatients (35 girls; 33 boys; mean age = 13.34 years, SD = 2.50) completed self-report measures of excessive reassurance-seeking, depressive symptoms, and interpersonal rejection. Results conformed to the hypothesis: The statistical interaction of excessive reassurance-seeking and depressive symptoms predicted interpersonal rejection, such that high-reassurance-seeking youth with depressive symptoms reported the most interpersonal rejection. Implications of the findings for interpersonal theory of depression in youngsters are discussed.
科因（1976b）的抑郁症人际理论假定，抑郁症状与过度寻求安慰相结合会导致人际问题（如孤独、被贬低）。本研究是首批在青少年中，尤其是在青少年临床样本中检验该模型的研究之一。68名青少年精神科住院患者（35名女孩；33名男孩；平均年龄 = 13.34岁，标准差 = 2.50）完成了关于过度寻求安慰、抑郁症状和人际排斥的自我报告测量。结果符合假设：过度寻求安慰与抑郁症状的统计交互作用预测了人际排斥，即有抑郁症状且高度寻求安慰的青少年报告的人际排斥最多。文中讨论了这些发现对青少年抑郁症人际理论的意义。
