During the time around menarche, young women must make many emotional and social adjustments to adapt to a new life stage. We compared depressive symptomatology and coping strategies between early and average maturer Mexican adolescents girls. The relationships between elapsed time since menarche and both depressive symptomatology and coping strategies were also studied. Three hundred eighty post-menarcheal students from 11 to 15 years completed the Children's Depression Scale and the Children's Situational Coping Scale. Early maturers showed more depressive symptoms than their peers, but they reported having used fewer non-productive coping strategies. Early maturers who experienced menarche one to three years previously reported more non-productive coping strategies than those who had experienced menarche four to six years ago. However, no differences were found in the results of the average maturers depending on the time elapsed since menarche. These findings are discussed in light of the psychosocial context of early maturers.
在初潮前后这段时间，年轻女性必须在情感和社交方面做出许多调整，以适应新的生活阶段。我们比较了早熟和发育正常的墨西哥青少年女孩的抑郁症状和应对策略。同时还研究了初潮后经过的时间与抑郁症状和应对策略之间的关系。380名11至15岁的初潮后学生完成了儿童抑郁量表和儿童情境应对量表。早熟女孩比同龄人表现出更多的抑郁症状，但她们报告使用的无效应对策略较少。初潮发生在一至三年前的早熟女孩比初潮发生在四至六年前的早熟女孩报告使用了更多的无效应对策略。然而，对于发育正常的女孩，根据初潮后经过的时间，未发现结果有差异。我们根据早熟女孩的心理社会背景对这些发现进行了讨论。
