Although symptoms of anxiety often coexist with symptoms of depression, little is known on how such coexistence affects youth's school experiences.
We tested how the two types of behaviors, when coexisting, were associated with youth's negative attitude toward teachers, school, and poor peer relations.
Data were collected from 203 ethnically and socioeconomically diverse youth (male: 24.6%; mean = 15.8 years, standard deviation = 2.4) with the 3rd edition of the Behavioral Assessment for Children: Self-Report of Personality.
Scores for symptoms of depression alone explained negative attitude toward teachers (β = .28; R = 17.88%), negative attitude toward school (β = .27; R = 14.74%), and poor peer relations (β = .42; R = 44.60%) as effectively as scores for both types of behaviors did.
The coexistence of symptoms of anxiety and depression did not appear to impair youth's attitude toward teachers, school and peer relations more than symptoms of depression did alone.
尽管焦虑症状常常与抑郁症状同时存在,但对于这种共存如何影响青少年的学校经历,人们知之甚少。
我们检验了这两种行为共存时,如何与青少年对教师、学校的负面态度和较差的同伴关系相关联。
数据来自 203 名具有不同种族和社会经济背景的青少年(男性:24.6%;平均年龄=15.8 岁,标准差=2.4),使用的是《儿童行为评估:自我报告人格》第三版。
仅抑郁症状的评分就可以有效解释对教师的负面态度(β=0.28;R²=17.88%)、对学校的负面态度(β=0.27;R²=14.74%)和较差的同伴关系(β=0.42;R²=44.60%),与两种类型的行为评分一样有效。
焦虑和抑郁症状的共存似乎并没有比抑郁症状更严重地损害青少年对教师、学校和同伴关系的态度。
