Family risk is inimical to adolescent development. The relationship between cumulative family risk and adolescent depressive symptoms was explored in the current study, with friendship quality examined as a moderator of the relationship. A sample of 595 seventh-grade students was tracked at 10-month intervals. Results suggested that exposure to cumulative family risk predicted adolescents' current and subsequent depressive symptoms, and that there was a linear, additive relationship between cumulative family risk and depressive symptoms. Friendship quality moderated the linear relationship between cumulative family risk and adolescents' current depressive symptoms. It is worth noting that the protective role of friendship quality is limited. The results highlight that the detrimental impact of family risk needs to be recognized and addressed.
家庭风险对青少年发展有害。本研究探讨了累积家庭风险与青少年抑郁症状之间的关系，并将友谊质量作为该关系的调节变量进行了考察。对595名七年级学生进行了为期10个月的跟踪调查。结果表明，暴露于累积家庭风险会预测青少年当前及随后的抑郁症状，且累积家庭风险与抑郁症状之间存在线性、累加关系。友谊质量调节了累积家庭风险与青少年当前抑郁症状之间的线性关系。值得注意的是，友谊质量的保护作用是有限的。研究结果凸显了家庭风险的有害影响需要得到认识和应对。
