The purpose of this study was to examine a mechanism through which interpersonal vulnerability factors may be linked with depressive symptoms by integrating a stress-generation model with an interpersonal theory of depression. The proposed conceptual framework was tested with 267 college students in a prospective structural equation model with 3 assessments over a 5-week period. Results supported all hypotheses. Initial depressive symptoms and initial reassurance seeking style were positively associated, and initial depressive symptoms were positively related to the occurrence of subsequent minor social stressors. Finally, a reassurance-seeking style was positively related to outcome depressive symptoms indirectly through minor social stressors. As predicted, stress generation operated as a mediating mechanism linking an initial reassurance-seeking style to subsequent depressive symptoms.
本研究的目的是通过将压力产生模型与抑郁的人际理论相结合，来检验一种人际脆弱性因素可能与抑郁症状相联系的机制。所提出的概念框架在一个前瞻性结构方程模型中，对267名大学生进行了测试，在为期5周的时间里进行了3次评估。结果支持了所有假设。初始抑郁症状与初始寻求安慰的方式呈正相关，初始抑郁症状与随后轻微社会压力源的发生呈正相关。最后，寻求安慰的方式通过轻微社会压力源与最终的抑郁症状呈正相关。正如预测的那样，压力产生作为一种中介机制，将初始寻求安慰的方式与随后的抑郁症状联系起来。
