This study examined depressive biases in adolescents' labeling of parental affect. Adolescents (151 girls; 82 boys) and their parents engaged in videotaped problem-solving interactions. Adolescents then participated in a video-mediated recall procedure in which they watched the videotaped interaction and indicated how they thought their parents were feeling. Indices of parents' affect during the problem-solving interactions were also provided by parent self-report and behavioral observations. Adolescent depressive symptoms were associated with overreporting of parental aggressive affect and underreporting of parental happy and neutral affects, relative to both directly observed and self-reported parental affect. Depressive symptoms were not associated with overreporting of parental dysphoric affect. Given the importance of accurately reading affective cues for negotiating interpersonal interactions, these findings likely have implications for understanding processes that contribute to adverse relationships among the families of adolescents with depressive symptoms.
本研究考察了青少年对父母情绪进行标签时的抑郁偏见。研究参与者包括青少年（151 名女孩，82 名男孩）及其父母。他们参与了录像带问题解决互动，然后青少年通过视频回忆程序观看录像带互动，并指出他们认为父母的感受。父母在解决问题的互动中的情绪指数也由父母的自我报告和行为观察提供。与直接观察到的和自我报告的父母情绪相比，青少年的抑郁症状与过度报告父母的攻击性情绪、低估父母的快乐和中性情绪有关。抑郁症状与过度报告父母的烦躁情绪无关。鉴于准确解读情感线索对协商人际互动的重要性，这些发现可能对理解导致抑郁青少年家庭关系不良的过程具有重要意义。
