The aim of this study was to explore the associations among interpersonal relationships, resilience and depressive symptoms, and to examine if resilience is a mediator between interpersonal relationships and depressive symptoms in senior high school students.
Of 463 randomly selected participants from among 3,900 high school students, 450 (97.19%) consented to and completed a structured 4-part questionnaire consisting of demographic items, Inventory of Adolescent Resilience, Taiwan Relationship Inventory for Children and Adolescents, and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale for Children. The associations between interpersonal relations and resilience and their associations with depressive symptoms were analyzed using MPlus 8.0 software for structural equation modeling.
Results from structural equation modeling indicate that resilience and interpersonal relationships were negatively associated with students' depressive symptoms, and resilience partially mediated the associations between interpersonal relationships and depressive symptoms after controlling for demographics.
Findings support that resilience and better interpersonal relationships are protective factors against depressive symptoms in adolescents. The positive association between the two protectors implies that interpersonal relationships might increase resilience and then alleviate depression amongst adolescents.
本研究旨在探讨人际关系、韧性和抑郁症状之间的关系，并检验韧性是否是高中生人际关系和抑郁症状之间的中介变量。
从 3900 名高中生中随机抽取 463 名参与者，其中 450 名（97.19%）同意并完成了一个由 4 部分组成的结构化问卷，包括人口统计学项目、青少年韧性量表、台湾儿童和青少年关系量表以及儿童流行病学研究抑郁量表。使用 MPlus 8.0 软件对结构方程模型进行分析，以探讨人际关系和韧性之间的关联及其与抑郁症状的关联。
结构方程模型的结果表明，韧性和人际关系与学生的抑郁症状呈负相关，并且在控制人口统计学因素后，韧性部分中介了人际关系和抑郁症状之间的关联。
研究结果支持韧性和更好的人际关系是青少年抑郁症状的保护因素。这两个保护因素之间的正相关表明，人际关系可能会增加青少年的韧性，从而减轻抑郁症状。
