Research on the efficacy of measures of self-esteem to predict onset of depression has produced highly variable results. Longitudinal population studies in London and Edinburgh have produced positive findings, but there are a number of studies with negative results. This paper examines in more detail than hitherto the results of the London, Islington, longitudinal study and discusses issues of measurement which might explain the variable success of such predictions.
关于自尊测量方法预测抑郁症发病效果的研究产生了高度可变的结果。伦敦和爱丁堡的纵向人群研究得出了积极的结果，但也有一些研究得出了消极的结果。本文比以往更详细地审视了伦敦伊斯灵顿纵向研究的结果，并讨论了测量问题，这些问题可能解释了此类预测成败不一的原因。
