In a cross-sectional study of 146 women, we examined the association of M. Rosenberg's (1965) self-esteem questionnaire and the Self-Evaluation and Social Support Instrument (SESS), an interview measure of self-esteem, with two major risk factors for depression--early adversity and negativity in current close relationships. Although both measures were related to the risk factors, only the SESS accounted for unique variance when the two measures were considered together and current depression was controlled. The results suggest that the reason the SESS has previously been more effective in predicting depression (G. W. Brown, B. Andrews, T. O. Harris, Z. Adler, & L. Bridge, 1986) is because it taps specific areas of self-dissatisfaction in real-life situations and is therefore less vulnerable to mood-state effects than the more global questionnaire measure.
在一项针对146名女性的横断面研究中，我们考察了M. 罗森伯格（1965年）的自尊问卷以及作为自尊访谈测量工具的自我评估与社会支持量表（SESS）与抑郁症的两个主要风险因素——早期逆境和当前亲密关系中的消极情绪之间的关联。尽管这两种测量方法都与风险因素相关，但当同时考虑这两种测量方法并控制当前抑郁症状时，只有自我评估与社会支持量表能够解释独特的方差。研究结果表明，自我评估与社会支持量表此前在预测抑郁症方面更有效的原因（G. W. 布朗、B. 安德鲁斯、T. O. 哈里斯、Z. 阿德勒和L. 布里奇，1986年）在于，它能够挖掘现实生活中自我不满的特定领域，因此比更具综合性的问卷测量方法更不容易受到情绪状态的影响。
