The present two-year longitudinal study aimed to examine the relationship between depression and reasoning ability in adolescents, and further investigated the modulation effect of growth mindset on this relationship. A total of 1,961 and 1,667 Chinese adolescents participated in the study for the first year (T1) and second year (T2), respectively. The results showed that T1 depression was negatively correlated with T1 growth mindset ( = -0.35, < 0.001), T1 reasoning ( = -0.30, < 0.001), and T2 reasoning ( = -0.23, < 0.001). Regression analysis revealed that T1 depression and the interaction between T1 depression and T1 growth mindset significantly predicted T1 reasoning (β = -0.220/-0.044, all s < 0.05). After controlling for gender, age, family socioeconomic status, and T1 reasoning ability, both T1 depression and the interaction between T1 depression and T1 growth mindset still significantly predicted T2 reasoning (β = -0.104/β = 0.054, all s < 0.05). The simple slope analysis found that the negative correlation between depression and reasoning in the high growth mindset group was weaker than that of the low growth mindset group in both T1 and T2, suggesting that growth mindset plays a significant moderating role in the relationship between depression and reasoning. In conclusion, depression was negatively correlated with reasoning ability in adolescents, in addition, growth mindset moderated the relationship between depression and reasoning.
这项为期两年的纵向研究旨在探讨青少年抑郁与推理能力之间的关系，并进一步研究成长型思维模式对这种关系的调节作用。共有1961名和1667名中国青少年分别参与了第一年（T1）和第二年（T2）的研究。结果表明，T1期抑郁与T1期成长型思维模式（r = -0.35，p < 0.001）、T1期推理能力（r = -0.30，p < 0.001）和T2期推理能力（r = -0.23，p < 0.001）呈负相关。回归分析显示，T1期抑郁以及T1期抑郁与T1期成长型思维模式的交互作用显著预测了T1期推理能力（β = -0.220/-0.044，所有p值 < 0.05）。在控制了性别、年龄、家庭社会经济地位和T1期推理能力后，T1期抑郁以及T1期抑郁与T1期成长型思维模式的交互作用仍显著预测了T2期推理能力（β = -0.104/β = 0.054，所有p值 < 0.05）。简单斜率分析发现，在T1期和T2期，高成长型思维模式组中抑郁与推理能力之间的负相关比低成长型思维模式组弱，这表明成长型思维模式在抑郁与推理能力的关系中起显著的调节作用。总之，青少年抑郁与推理能力呈负相关，此外，成长型思维模式调节了抑郁与推理能力之间的关系。
