The current study tested a developmental-contextual model of depressive symptomatology among Mexican-origin, female early and middle adolescents and their mothers. The final sample comprised 271 dyads. We examined the interrelations among cultural (i.e., acculturation dissonance), developmental (i.e., pubertal development and autonomy expectation discrepancies), and interpersonal (i.e., mother-daughter conflict and maternal supportive parenting) factors in predicting adolescents' depressive symptoms. For both early and middle adolescents, maternal support was negatively associated with mother-daughter conflict and depressive symptoms. Mother-daughter autonomy expectation discrepancies were positively associated with mother-daughter conflict, but this association was found only among early adolescents. Further, mother-daughter acculturation dissonance was positively associated with mother-daughter conflict but only among middle adolescents. Findings call for concurrently examining the interface of developmental, relational, and cultural factors in predicting female adolescents' depressive symptomatology and the potential differences by developmental stage (e.g., early vs. middle adolescence).
本研究检验了一个发展-情境模型，该模型涉及墨西哥裔女性青少年早期和中期及其母亲的抑郁症状。最终样本包括 271 对母子。我们考察了文化（即文化不和谐）、发展（即青春期发育和自主性期望差异）和人际（即母女冲突和母亲支持性养育）因素之间的相互关系，以预测青少年的抑郁症状。对于青少年早期和中期的青少年来说，母亲的支持与母女冲突和抑郁症状呈负相关。母亲和女儿的自主性期望差异与母女冲突呈正相关，但这种关联仅存在于青少年早期。此外，母亲和女儿的文化不和谐与母女冲突呈正相关，但仅存在于青少年中期。这些发现呼吁同时考察发展、关系和文化因素在预测女性青少年抑郁症状中的相互作用，以及发展阶段（例如，青少年早期与中期）的潜在差异。
