The relations between family support, family conflict, and adolescent depressive symptomatology were examined longitudinally in a sample of 231 female and 189 male adolescents and their mothers. Structural equation models revealed that less supportive and more conflictual family environments were associated with greater depressive symptomatology both concurrently and prospectively over a 1-year period. Conversely, adolescent depressive symptomatology did not predict deterioration in family relationships. Depressive symptomatology and, to a greater extent, family characteristics showed high levels of stability over the 1-year period. Counter to our expectations, the relations between family variable and depressive symptomatology were similar for boys and girls. The results suggest that the quality of family interactions is relevant for understanding the development of depressive symptoms in adolescents.
在一个由231名女性青少年、189名男性青少年及其母亲组成的样本中，对家庭支持、家庭冲突与青少年抑郁症状之间的关系进行了纵向研究。结构方程模型显示，在为期1年的时间里，支持较少且冲突较多的家庭环境，在同时期和前瞻性方面都与更严重的抑郁症状相关。相反，青少年抑郁症状并不能预测家庭关系的恶化。在这1年期间，抑郁症状以及在更大程度上的家庭特征都表现出高度的稳定性。与我们的预期相反，男孩和女孩在家庭变量与抑郁症状之间的关系是相似的。结果表明，家庭互动的质量对于理解青少年抑郁症状的发展具有重要意义。
