This study used a multiwave design to examine the short-term longitudinal and bidirectional associations between depressive symptoms and peer relationship qualities among a sample of early to middle adolescents (N = 350, 6th-10th graders). Youth completed self-report measures of relationship quality and depressive symptoms at three time points spaced about 5 weeks apart. Results indicated that depressive symptoms predicted increases in negative qualities and decreases in positive qualities. However, neither positive nor negative relationship qualities predicted increases in depressive symptoms. Findings inform a developmentally based interpersonal model of depression by advancing knowledge on the longitudinal direction of effects between depressive symptoms and relationship quality in adolescence.
本研究采用多波设计,考察了早期至中期青少年样本(N=350,6 至 10 年级)中抑郁症状与同伴关系质量之间的短期纵向和双向关联。青少年在三个时间点间隔约 5 周完成了关系质量和抑郁症状的自我报告测量。结果表明,抑郁症状预测了负面关系质量的增加和正面关系质量的下降。然而,积极或消极的关系质量都没有预测抑郁症状的增加。研究结果为基于发展的抑郁人际模型提供了信息,增进了青少年抑郁症状与关系质量之间的纵向效应的知识。
