Coping and negative cognitive style were studied in relation to depressive symptoms in children at risk for depression. In a sample of 165 children (ages 9-15) of depressed parents, the main and interaction effects of coping and negative cognitive style were examined in association with children's depressive symptoms measured by parent and child report on questionnaires and diagnostic interviews. Negative cognitive style was related to three types of coping (primary control, secondary control, and disengagement). Furthermore, coping and negative cognitive style made independent contributions to depressive symptoms. Little support emerged for interactive effects on depressive symptoms. Implications for future research with this high-risk population of children are considered.
对有抑郁风险的儿童,研究了应对方式和消极认知风格与抑郁症状的关系。在一个由165名父母患有抑郁症的儿童(9至15岁)组成的样本中,通过父母和孩子填写问卷以及诊断访谈来测量儿童的抑郁症状,以此检验应对方式和消极认知风格的主效应及交互效应。消极认知风格与三种应对方式(初级控制、次级控制和脱离)有关。此外,应对方式和消极认知风格对抑郁症状有独立影响。几乎没有证据支持对抑郁症状的交互作用。文中还考虑了对这一高危儿童群体未来研究的启示。
