The current multimethod longitudinal study examines how parents' distress reactions to adolescents' negative emotions may shape youths' own perceptions of negative life events and subsequent increases in depressive symptomology. Ninety adolescents (41 girls, 49 boys, average age = 16.5 years old) and their parents were assessed over three timepoints. We found that greater parent-reported distress reactions to adolescents' emotions predicted subsequent increase in youths' own self-reported negative reactions to stressful experiences over a two-week period, which in turn predicted steeper increases in youth-reported depressive symptoms across this same two-week period. Moreover, youths' negative reactions mediated the relation between parent emotion socialization and increases in adolescent depressive symptoms. These findings support the use of interventions that simultaneously target parent and child distress to prevent the onset of adolescent depression.
当前的多方法纵向研究考察了父母对青少年负面情绪的痛苦反应如何塑造青少年对负面生活事件的自身认知以及随后抑郁症状的增加。在三个时间点对90名青少年（41名女孩，49名男孩，平均年龄 = 16.5岁）及其父母进行了评估。我们发现，父母报告的对青少年情绪的更大痛苦反应预测了青少年自身报告的在两周内对压力经历的负面反应的随后增加，这反过来又预测了在同一两周内青少年报告的抑郁症状的更急剧增加。此外，青少年的负面反应介导了父母情绪社会化与青少年抑郁症状增加之间的关系。这些发现支持使用同时针对父母和孩子痛苦的干预措施来预防青少年抑郁症的发作。
