In a 6-wave longitudinal study, children (Grades 4-6, n = 648), adolescents (Grades 7-9, n = 1,489), and their parents completed child-adolescent or parent versions of the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI; M. Kovacs, 1981). Using structural equation modeling, the authors conducted latent trait-state analyses to distinguish between a stable trait dimension of depression (in which individual differences are stable over time) and an autoregressive dimension (in which individual differences are less stable over time). Children's CDIs reflected the autoregressive dimension more than a stable trait dimension, whereas parents' CDIs reflected a stable trait dimension more than an autoregressive dimension. Reports from adolescents and their parents reflected a stable trait dimension more than an autoregressive dimension of depressive symptoms. Results suggest that the longitudinal structure of the CDI varies considerably depending on the age of the target and the type of informant.
在一项6波纵向研究中，儿童（4至6年级，n = 648）、青少年（7至9年级，n = 1489）及其父母完成了儿童抑郁量表（CDI；M. 科瓦奇，1981）的儿童 - 青少年版或父母版。作者使用结构方程模型进行了潜在特质 - 状态分析，以区分抑郁的稳定特质维度（个体差异随时间稳定）和自回归维度（个体差异随时间不太稳定）。儿童的CDI更多地反映了自回归维度而非稳定特质维度，而父母的CDI更多地反映了稳定特质维度而非自回归维度。青少年及其父母的报告更多地反映了抑郁症状的稳定特质维度而非自回归维度。结果表明，CDI的纵向结构根据目标年龄和信息提供者类型的不同而有很大差异。
