This study sought to examine the association between adolescents' relationship with family and school and depressive symptoms across ethnic/racial groups (White, Black, Hispanic, and Asian), and to test potentially unique explanatory power in youth-family relationship versus youth-school relationship, in a sample of 4,783 adolescents. Depressive symptoms were assessed with a 19-item, modified Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D). The results indicated that youth-family relationship and youth-school relationship were significant predictors of adolescent depression. However, the findings of the study indicated that unique contributions by youth-family relationship and youth-school relationship were different by racial/ethnic groups. These findings elucidate protective factors for adolescent depression and highlight the importance of cultural context of each racial/ethnic group.
本研究旨在调查4783名青少年样本中，不同种族/族裔群体（白人、黑人、西班牙裔和亚裔）的青少年与家庭和学校的关系与抑郁症状之间的关联，并检验青少年与家庭关系和青少年与学校关系在解释抑郁症状方面可能具有的独特作用。抑郁症状通过一个经过修改的包含19个条目的流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D）进行评估。结果表明，青少年与家庭的关系和青少年与学校的关系是青少年抑郁的重要预测因素。然而，研究结果表明，青少年与家庭关系和青少年与学校关系对不同种族/族裔群体的独特作用存在差异。这些发现阐明了青少年抑郁的保护因素，并突出了每个种族/族裔群体文化背景的重要性。
