Building on the growing body of research that supports the relationship between depressive symptoms and sexual activities in adolescence, we examined how individual differences in interpersonal avoidance and anxiety might moderate this association. Data were collected from 71 early adolescent girls (M age 13.45 years; SD = 0.68; 89% Caucasian) concurrently and 1 year later. Results indicated that greater depressive symptoms predicted a greater frequency of sexual intercourse both concurrently and 1-year later, particularly among more interpersonally avoidant girls. However, greater depressive symptoms predicted a greater frequency of non-intercourse activities 1-year later among less avoidant girls. Implications for understanding how individual differences in interpersonal style may serve as risk or protective factors in dysphoric girls' sexual experiences are discussed.
基于越来越多的研究支持青少年抑郁症状与性行为之间的关系，我们研究了人际回避和焦虑的个体差异如何调节这种关联。数据来自 71 名早期青春期女孩（平均年龄 13.45 岁，标准差=0.68，89%为白种人），同时和 1 年后收集。结果表明，抑郁症状越严重，同期和 1 年后发生性行为的频率越高，特别是在人际回避程度较高的女孩中。然而，在回避程度较低的女孩中，抑郁症状越严重，1 年后非性交活动的频率越高。讨论了如何理解人际风格的个体差异如何作为抑郁女孩性体验中的风险或保护因素。
