This research examines the role of friendship contingent self-esteem (FCSE), or self-esteem that is dependent on the quality of one's friendships, in predicting depressive symptoms. In Study 1, the authors developed a measure of FCSE. Both FCSE and others' approval correlated with self-esteem and depressive symptoms, but when entered simultaneously in a regression equation, only FCSE significantly predicted self-esteem and depressive symptoms. Study 2 showed that dependency and close friendship competence predicted depressive symptoms only for those high in FCSE. In Study 3, a diary study, FCSE predicted self-esteem instability. Self-esteem instability, in turn, predicted depressive symptoms. Furthermore, a three-way interaction of rumination, FCSE, and the valence of the event predicted momentary self-esteem. Findings are discussed with regard to the importance of considering FCSE when investigating interpersonal risk for depression.
本研究考察了友谊条件自尊（FCSE）的作用，即自尊取决于一个人的友谊质量，以预测抑郁症状。在研究 1 中，作者开发了一种 FCSE 衡量标准。FCSE 和他人的认可都与自尊和抑郁症状相关，但在回归方程中同时输入时，只有 FCSE 显著预测了自尊和抑郁症状。研究 2 表明，依赖性和亲密友谊能力仅对那些 FCSE 高的人预测抑郁症状。在研究 3 中，一项日记研究表明，FCSE 预测了自尊的不稳定性。自尊的不稳定性反过来又预测了抑郁症状。此外，沉思、FCSE 和事件的效价的三向交互作用预测了瞬间的自尊。研究结果表明，在研究人际抑郁风险时，考虑 FCSE 非常重要。
