Depressive symptoms are highly prevalent among adolescents with a history of parent-child separation. This study investigates whether self-perceived pleasure in social interactions mediates the relationship between early parent-child separation and depressive symptoms among Chinese adolescents.
1250 teenagers (mean age = 12.95 years, SD = 1.55; 54.6% male) completed self-report surveys assessing early parent-child separation, self-perceived pleasure in social interactions, and depressive symptoms. Mediation analysis was conducted using the bootstrap method.
Early parent-child separation increased the risk for depressive symptoms in adolescents by 1.743 times (95% CI, 1.348-2.253). Self-perceived pleasure in social interaction partially mediated the association between early parent-child separation and adolescent depressive symptoms, after adjusting for age and gender (β = 0.095; 95%CI, 0.032-0.168). The mediating effect was significant and accounted for 19.87% of the total effect.
This study highlights the impact of self-perceived pleasure from social interactions on adolescent depressive symptoms. Improving perceived pleasure from social interactions may help reduce the negative effects of parent-child separation on depressive symptoms.
在有亲子分离史的青少年中，抑郁症状非常普遍。本研究调查了在中国青少年中，社交互动中的自我感知愉悦感是否介导了早期亲子分离与抑郁症状之间的关系。
1250名青少年（平均年龄 = 12.95岁，标准差 = 1.55；54.6%为男性）完成了自我报告调查，评估早期亲子分离、社交互动中的自我感知愉悦感和抑郁症状。使用Bootstrap方法进行中介分析。
早期亲子分离使青少年出现抑郁症状的风险增加了1.743倍（95%置信区间，1.348 - 2.253）。在调整年龄和性别后，社交互动中的自我感知愉悦感部分介导了早期亲子分离与青少年抑郁症状之间的关联（β = 0.095；95%置信区间，0.032 - 0.168）。中介效应显著，占总效应的19.87%。
本研究强调了社交互动中的自我感知愉悦感对青少年抑郁症状的影响。提高社交互动中的感知愉悦感可能有助于减少亲子分离对抑郁症状的负面影响。
