目前的研究在一个中年青少年的样本中检验了几种抑郁理论。在第1367期，367名九年级学生完成了评估抑郁成因推理风格的测试，对抑郁情绪的反思倾向，以及抑郁症状的测试。六周后，参与者完成了评估负面事件和抑郁症状的测量。与绝望理论一致，导致抑郁的最薄弱环节与负面事件相互作用，预测绝望抑郁症状的增加，但在更普遍的抑郁症状中却没有。此外，为反应风格理论提供了部分支持，抑郁情绪的反刍倾向预示着绝望抑郁症状的增加，而不是更普遍的抑郁症状。与整合理论相反，抑郁源性最薄弱环节与消极事件后绝望抑郁症状增加之间的关系并没有被反刍反应风格所缓和。
The current study examined several theories of depression in a sample of middle adolescents. At Time 1, 367 ninth graders completed measures assessing depressogenic inferential styles, the tendency to ruminate in response to depressed mood, and depressive symptoms. Six weeks later, participants completed measures assessing negative events and depressive symptoms. In line with the hopelessness theory, a depressogenic weakest link interacted with negative events to predict increases in hopelessness depression symptoms but not in more general depressive symptoms. Further, providing partial support for the response styles theory, the tendency to ruminate in response to depressed mood predicted increases in hopelessness depression symptoms but not in more general depressive symptoms. Contrary to the integrative theory, the relationship between a depressogenic weakest link and increases in hopelessness depression symptoms following negative events was not moderated by a ruminative response style.
