The primary aim of the current study was to replicate and extend previous findings by examining the relation of self-perceived competence with symptoms of depression and social anxiety in older adolescents. Focusing first on cross-sectional relations, we found that older adolescents' depressive symptoms were similarly related to levels of perceived scholastic competence and social acceptance, whereas social anxiety was significantly more strongly related to perceived social acceptance. Next, examining symptom changes over a six-month follow-up, we found that perceived social acceptance and scholastic competence both independently predicted prospective changes in adolescents' depressive symptoms, whereas perceived social acceptance, but not scholastic competence, predicted prospective changes in social anxiety. Although we also examined vulnerability-stress models of symptom change with negative academic and social events, none of these analyses was significant.
本研究的主要目的是通过考察自我认知能力与大龄青少年抑郁症状和社交焦虑症状之间的关系,来复制和扩展先前的研究结果。首先关注横断面关系,我们发现大龄青少年的抑郁症状与感知到的学业能力水平和社会接纳程度有相似的关联,而社交焦虑与感知到的社会接纳程度的关联显著更强。接下来,在为期六个月的随访中考察症状变化,我们发现感知到的社会接纳和学业能力都能独立预测青少年抑郁症状的前瞻性变化,而感知到的社会接纳而非学业能力能预测社交焦虑的前瞻性变化。尽管我们也考察了消极学业和社会事件导致症状变化的易感性-应激模型,但这些分析均无显著结果。
