The relationship among depression, social skills, and suicidal behavior was examined in a sample of 41 adolescents hospitalized in a general medical setting following a suicide attempt. These subjects were compared to 40 nonsuicidal psychiatrically hospitalized adolescents. Level of depression, assessed using the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), and social skills, assessed via the Matson Evaluation of Social Skills with Youngsters (MESSY), were evaluated for all subjects. The suicide attempters and psychiatrically hospitalized patients were not found to differ on either the CDI or MESSY. However, multiple regression analyses revealed the factor scores of the MESSY to be related to depression in both patient groups. The data provide support for the relationship between social skills and depression. Results are also discussed in terms of the similarities between adolescent suicide attempters and nonsuicidal psychiatrically disturbed adolescents.
在41名因自杀未遂而入住综合医疗科室的青少年样本中，研究了抑郁、社交技能和自杀行为之间的关系。将这些受试者与40名非自杀性的住院精神科青少年进行比较。使用儿童抑郁量表（CDI）评估所有受试者的抑郁水平，并通过青少年社交技能马特森评估量表（MESSY）评估社交技能。未发现自杀未遂者和住院精神科患者在CDI或MESSY上存在差异。然而，多元回归分析显示，在两个患者组中，MESSY的因子得分均与抑郁有关。这些数据为社交技能与抑郁之间的关系提供了支持。还根据青少年自杀未遂者与非自杀性精神障碍青少年之间的相似性对结果进行了讨论。
