Few studies have examined children's perceptions of parental depression. This study was a qualitative analysis of the changes in the perception of parental depression between the ages of 17 and 19 years. Archived interview narratives of 16 respondents from a longitudinal, preventive intervention study of depression in families were analyzed. The respondents were purposefully selected to represent both genders as well as higher and lower levels of family adversity. The perceptions of parental depression were found to fall into three categories: self-oriented perspectives (resistance and negativity), ambivalent perspectives, and, other-oriented perspectives (acceptance and compassion). Over time, respondents from the high-adversity families showed shifts from self-orientation to other-orientation, whereas the perspectives of respondents from low-adversity families remained unchanged. Some respondents with depression in both parents and/or siblings revealed changes in perception toward one parent but no change toward other family members with depression.
鲜有研究探讨儿童对父母抑郁的认知。本研究采用定性分析方法，探究了青少年（17-19 岁）对父母抑郁认知的变化。研究基于一项针对家庭抑郁的纵向预防性干预研究，分析了 16 名受访者（男女均有，来自高逆境和低逆境家庭）的档案访谈记录。研究发现，青少年对父母抑郁的认知可分为三类：自我为中心的观点（抵抗和消极）、矛盾的观点和他人为中心的观点（接受和同情）。随着时间的推移，来自高逆境家庭的受访者从自我为中心转变为他人为中心，而来自低逆境家庭的受访者的观点则保持不变。一些父母和/或兄弟姐妹均患有抑郁症的受访者对父母一方的看法有所改变，但对其他患有抑郁症的家庭成员则没有变化。
