虽然研究暗示青春期的过程中出现的抑郁症在青春期的性别差异，很少有研究探讨认知和情感的脆弱性如何影响青春期的时间对抑郁症状的影响。目前的研究前瞻性地检查了青春期早期是否预测了具有更多消极认知方式和较低情绪清晰度的青少年中抑郁症状的增加，以及这种风险是否特定于青春期女孩。在318名青少年的不同样本中，青春期早期的时间预测了具有更多消极认知方式的青少年男孩和女孩以及情绪清晰度较差的青少年女孩的抑郁症状增加。这些研究结果表明，青春期成熟较早可能会增加抑郁症的风险，青少年与预先存在的脆弱性抑郁症，而早熟的青春期女孩与较低水平的情绪清晰度可能特别容易受到抑郁症状，代表一个途径，通过抑郁症的性别差异可能会出现。(C)2013年，青少年服务专业人员基金会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
Although research implicates pubertal processes in the emergence of the sex difference in depression during adolescence, few studies have examined how cognitive and affective vulnerabilities influence the effect of pubertal timing on depressive symptoms. The current study prospectively examined whether early pubertal timing predicted increases in depressive symptoms among adolescents with more negative cognitive styles and lower emotional clarity, and whether this risk was specific to adolescent girls. In a diverse sample of 318 adolescents, early pubertal timing predicted increases in depressive symptoms among adolescent boys and girls with more negative cognitive styles and adolescent girls with poor emotional clarity. These findings suggest that earlier pubertal maturation may heighten the risk of depression for adolescents with pre-existing vulnerabilities to depression, and that early maturing adolescent girls with lower levels of emotional clarity may be particularly vulnerable to depressive symptoms, representing one pathway through which the sex difference in depression may emerge.
