Moving from high school to college is a critical juncture in socioemotional health, and how young people fare likely depends on their academic settings and experiences. To examine variation in trajectories of depressive symptomatology among a sample of US youth who transition from high school into college, this study applied growth mixture modeling to data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, which revealed multiple patterns of symptomatology over time that ranged from healthy to unhealthy. Adolescents appeared to have the healthiest trajectories when they experienced consistently competitive academic settings in high school and college. Overall, transitioning into college was a period of socioemotional vulnerability for some and wellbeing for others, but challenging curricula and contexts across this transition could differentiate between the two.
从高中进入大学是社会情感健康的一个关键转折点，年轻人的表现可能取决于他们的学术环境和经历。为了研究从高中过渡到大学的美国青年样本中抑郁症状轨迹的变化，本研究将增长混合模型应用于青少年到成人健康纵向研究的数据，该研究揭示了随着时间推移从健康到不健康的多种症状模式。当青少年在高中和大学都经历持续竞争的学术环境时，他们似乎有最健康的轨迹。总体而言，进入大学对一些人来说是社会情感脆弱的时期，而对另一些人来说是幸福的时期，但整个过渡过程中具有挑战性的课程和环境可能会区分这两者。
