The mediating factors between childhood experience of parental divorce and subsequent depression in young adulthood were assessed in a follow-up study of one Finnish urban age cohort from the age of 16 to 22 (n = 1656). Depression was found to be more common among the offspring of divorced families. Low self-esteem at age 16 was an indicator of vulnerability to depression in young adulthood irrespective of family background or gender. Among girls the long-term impact of divorce was mediated via low self-esteem and lack of closeness to father. When the relationship with the father was close, no excess risk of depression was found among girls from divorced families. Conversely, in boys no statistical connection between low self-esteem or unsatisfactory relationship with parents and depression after parental divorce was found.
在一项针对芬兰一个城市年龄队列中16至22岁人群（n = 1656）的随访研究中，评估了童年时期父母离异经历与青年期后续抑郁之间的中介因素。研究发现，离异家庭的子女中抑郁更为常见。无论家庭背景或性别如何，16岁时的低自尊都是青年期易患抑郁症的一个指标。在女孩中，离婚的长期影响是通过低自尊和与父亲缺乏亲密关系介导的。当与父亲关系亲密时，离异家庭的女孩中未发现患抑郁症的额外风险。相反，在男孩中，未发现低自尊或与父母关系不满意与父母离婚后的抑郁之间存在统计学联系。
