Supportive relationships with parents and friends reduce adolescent risk for depression; however, whether and how the strength of these associations changes across adolescence remains less clear. Age-varying associations of mother-adolescent and father-adolescent closeness and friend support with depressive symptoms were examined across ages 12.5-19.5 using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (N = 4,819). Positive relationships with mothers, fathers, and friends were associated with lower depressive symptoms across adolescence, and the associations were generally stable across age. The association between father-adolescent closeness and depressive symptoms was stronger for girls than for boys during mid-adolescence. Mother-adolescent closeness was more strongly negatively associated with depressive symptoms in the context of higher friend support during mid-adolescence.
与父母和朋友的支持性关系可以降低青少年患抑郁症的风险；然而，这些关联在青少年时期的变化情况以及变化程度尚不清楚。本研究使用来自国家青少年至成年健康纵向研究（N=4819）的数据，在 12.5 岁至 19.5 岁期间，调查了青少年与母亲、父亲和朋友之间的亲密程度和支持性与抑郁症状之间的年龄变化关联。整个青春期内，与母亲、父亲和朋友的积极关系与较低的抑郁症状相关，且这种关联在整个年龄段基本保持稳定。在青少年中期，父亲与青少年的亲密程度与抑郁症状的关联对女孩比对男孩更强。在青少年中期，当朋友支持度较高时，青少年与母亲的亲密程度与抑郁症状的负相关性更强。
