Working within the "matching theory" of social supports, this research focuses on depressed mood and examines how resilience to stress during adolescence is shaped by developmental constraints on the use of support for coping with problems in the family, peer, and personal arenas. The sample is 1,036 adolescents systematically drawn from 3 community high schools in the Boston area. Predictions center on the efficacy of peer and family supports, and two intraindividual protective factors: sense of mastery and sense of social integration. Findings indicate little evidence of cross-domain stress buffering (where family support buffers the effects of peer stress on mood, and vice versa), suggesting that family and peer domains are more distinct during this stage of development. Protective effects for friendship stresses are evidenced, but boys are more able than girls to marshal their personal and support resources in managing friendship problems. Discussion centers on matching theory and the role of development in shaping coping responses to stress.
本研究基于社会支持的“匹配理论”展开，聚焦于抑郁情绪，探讨在应对家庭、同伴和个人领域的问题时，青少年时期对压力的恢复力如何受到支持利用方面的发展限制的影响。样本是从波士顿地区3所社区高中系统抽取的1036名青少年。预测集中在同伴和家庭支持的功效，以及两个个体内部保护因素：掌控感和社会融合感。研究结果表明，几乎没有跨领域压力缓冲的证据（即家庭支持缓冲同伴压力对情绪的影响，反之亦然），这表明在这个发展阶段，家庭和同伴领域更为不同。友谊压力的保护作用得到了证实，但在处理友谊问题时，男孩比女孩更有能力调动个人和支持资源。讨论集中在匹配理论以及发展在塑造应对压力反应中的作用。
