This study utilized a multi-method approach (self-reported affect, observed behavior, and psychophysiology) to investigate differences between clinically depressed and non-depressed adolescents across three different affective interaction contexts with their parents. 152 adolescents (52 males, 14-18 y.o.), and their parents, participated in a laboratory session in which they discussed positive and negative aspects of their relationship, and reminisced on positive and negative memories. We found that across contexts depressed adolescents exhibited higher negative affect and behaviors, lower positive behaviors, and greater autonomic and sympathetic activity. Context specific findings indicated that depressed adolescents 1) exhibited greater persistence of negative affect and dysphoric behavior across the sequence of tasks, whereas these phenomena declined amongst their non-depressed peers, 2) depressed adolescents had greater increases in aggressive behaviors during negative interactions, and 3) depressed adolescents had greater parasympathetic withdrawal during negative interactions, while this response characterized the non-depressed group during positive interactions.
本研究采用了一种多方法途径（自我报告的情感、观察到的行为和心理生理学），以调查临床抑郁症青少年与非抑郁症青少年在与父母的三种不同情感互动情境中的差异。152名青少年（52名男性，14 - 18岁）及其父母参加了一次实验室活动，在活动中他们讨论了亲子关系的积极和消极方面，并回忆了积极和消极的记忆。我们发现，在各种情境中，抑郁症青少年表现出更高的消极情绪和行为、更低的积极行为，以及更强的自主神经和交感神经活动。特定情境的研究结果表明，抑郁症青少年：1）在一系列任务中表现出更强的消极情绪和烦躁行为持续性，而这些现象在他们的非抑郁症同龄人中有所下降；2）抑郁症青少年在消极互动期间攻击性行为的增加幅度更大；3）抑郁症青少年在消极互动期间有更大的副交感神经退缩，而这种反应在积极互动期间是非抑郁症组的特征。
