Feeling and/or being criticized is a known risk factor for various psychiatric disorders in adolescents. However, the link between the experience of social stressors and the development of psychopathological symptoms is not yet fully understood. Identifying which adolescent subgroups are more vulnerable to parental criticism could be of great clinical relevance. In this study, 90 nondepressed 14- to 17-year-old adolescents were exposed to a sequence of auditory segments with a positive, neutral, and finally negative valence, mirroring parental criticism. Their mood and ruminative states were assessed before and after exposure to criticism. We observed an overall increase in mood disturbance and ruminative thoughts. Self-perception appeared to influence these mood changes, whereas no significant influence by perceived criticism, self-worth, or the general tendency to ruminate was found. Emotional awareness seemed to account for some of the variance in positive mood state changes. These findings point to the importance of adolescent self-perception (and emotional awareness) in dealing with parental criticism.
感到（或被批评）被认为是青少年出现各种精神障碍的已知风险因素。然而，社会压力源的体验与心理病理症状的发展之间的联系还不完全清楚。确定哪些青少年亚组更容易受到父母批评可能具有重要的临床意义。在这项研究中，90 名无抑郁的 14 至 17 岁青少年暴露于一系列具有积极、中性和最终负性效价的听觉片段中，模拟父母批评。在暴露于批评前后评估了他们的情绪和沉思状态。我们观察到情绪困扰和沉思性思维总体上增加。自我认知似乎影响了这些情绪变化，而感知到的批评、自我价值感或普遍的沉思倾向没有显著影响。情绪意识似乎可以解释积极情绪状态变化的一些差异。这些发现表明青少年自我认知（和情绪意识）在应对父母批评时的重要性。
