We compared the prevalence of depressive symptoms among deaf and hearing college students and examined the relationships among depressive symptoms, personality characteristics, and perceived parental attitudes and behaviors in these two groups. Measures were revised to meet the language needs of the deaf subjects. Mild levels of depressive symptoms were more prevalent in the deaf than in the hearing students, but more severe depression was not. In both groups, depressive symptoms were associated with perceptions of lower maternal care and higher maternal over-protection. Deaf and hearing subjects did not differ on these perceived maternal characteristics. Depressive symptoms were associated with socially dependent personality characteristics in the hearing sample only. We discuss the implications of the findings for the role of personality development in depression in deaf individuals.
我们比较了聋哑大学生和听力正常大学生中抑郁症状的患病率，并研究了这两组人群中抑郁症状、人格特征以及感知到的父母态度和行为之间的关系。对测量方法进行了修订，以满足聋哑受试者的语言需求。轻度抑郁症状在聋哑学生中比在听力正常的学生中更为普遍，但重度抑郁并非如此。在两组中，抑郁症状都与对母亲关爱较少和母亲过度保护的认知有关。聋哑学生和听力正常的学生在这些感知到的母亲特征方面没有差异。抑郁症状仅与听力正常样本中社会依赖型人格特征有关。我们讨论了这些发现对于人格发展在聋哑个体抑郁中所起作用的意义。
