The prevalence of depression especially among youths is increasingly high. The present study is aimed to identify some demographic and psychological factors such as self-efficacy and perceived stress that may be related to depression among male adolescents.
Overall, 402 adolescent were selected for participation in the study using multistage sampling method. The participants completed a questionnaire including demographic, depression, self-efficacy, and perceived stress data. A multiple regression analysis and the Pearson correlation test were used for data analysis. SPSS version 17 software was used for performing analyses.
The mean age of the adolescents was 15.44 (SD = 0.68) years. The total mean score of depression was 16.02 ± 9.14 and 153 (38.1%) of participants showed depressive symptoms. Results showed that high levels of depression were associated with low level of self-efficacy and high level of perceived stress; also some demographic variables such as fathers' job and academic situation can be related to depression among male adolescents.
Self-efficacy and perceived stress can be related to depression but the role of stress and self-efficacy in the etiology and forming of depression in adolescent are discussed. Therefore, more studies for approval of these associations should be considered.
抑郁症的患病率，尤其是在青少年中，越来越高。本研究旨在确定一些人口统计学和心理因素，如自我效能感和感知压力，这些因素可能与男性青少年的抑郁症有关。
总体而言，采用多阶段抽样方法选取了402名青少年参与本研究。参与者完成了一份问卷，其中包括人口统计学、抑郁症、自我效能感和感知压力数据。数据分析采用多元回归分析和Pearson相关检验。使用SPSS 17版软件进行分析。
青少年的平均年龄为15.44岁（标准差=0.68）。抑郁症的总平均分是16.02±9.14，153名（38.1%）参与者表现出抑郁症状。结果表明，高水平的抑郁症与低水平的自我效能感和高水平的感知压力相关；此外，一些人口统计学变量，如父亲的工作和学业情况，可能与男性青少年的抑郁症有关。
自我效能感和感知压力可能与抑郁症有关，但应激和自我效能感在青少年抑郁症病因和形成中的作用有待探讨。因此，应考虑进行更多研究以证实这些关联。
