Research suggests that perceiving parental depression elicits internalizing problems in adolescents, but certain studies have indicated that adolescents' internalizing problems also increase their perception of parental emotion. To further investigate the inconsistent findings about the nature of this relationship, the current study used longitudinal data to examine the causal association between adolescents' internalizing problems and the parental depression they perceived, as well as the role of intrusive rumination in the relationship. In this longitudinal study, 392 adolescents who experienced the catastrophic Jiuzhaigou earthquake in 2017 were surveyed at three time points after the earthquake: 12 months (T1), 21 months (T2) and 27 months (T3). A cross-lagged panel model was used to carry out the data analysis. Mutual cause-and-effect relationships were found between intrusive rumination and both perceived parental depression and internalizing problems, respectively; a unilateral causal relationship in which internalizing problems positively predicted perceived parental depression was also found. In addition, internalizing problems predicted perceived parental depression via the mediating role of intrusive rumination; similarly, intrusive rumination predicted perceived parental depression via internalizing problems. Internalizing problems were a risk factor for perceived parental depression, and intrusive rumination played an important role in the relationship between internalizing problems and perceived parental depression.
研究表明，察觉到父母抑郁会引发青少年的内化问题，但某些研究表明，青少年的内化问题也会增强他们对父母情绪的感知。为了进一步探究关于这种关系本质的不一致研究结果，本研究使用纵向数据来检验青少年内化问题与他们所察觉到的父母抑郁之间的因果关联，以及强迫性反刍在该关系中的作用。在这项纵向研究中，对392名在2017年经历了灾难性九寨沟地震的青少年在地震后的三个时间点进行了调查：12个月（T1）、21个月（T2）和27个月（T3）。采用交叉滞后面板模型进行数据分析。研究发现，强迫性反刍分别与所察觉到的父母抑郁和内化问题之间存在相互因果关系；还发现了一种单向因果关系，即内化问题正向预测所察觉到的父母抑郁。此外，内化问题通过强迫性反刍的中介作用预测所察觉到的父母抑郁；同样，强迫性反刍通过内化问题预测所察觉到的父母抑郁。内化问题是所察觉到的父母抑郁的一个风险因素，强迫性反刍在内化问题与所察觉到的父母抑郁之间的关系中起重要作用。
