作者调查了三个成人年龄组(年轻人、中年人和老年人)的几个生活事件或担忧是否与抑郁症状存在差异相关。他们检查了抑郁症状的两个指标与工作状态和满意度、关系状况和满意度、孤独感、最近的损失、父母压力和照顾的关系。在这些关系中，年龄组之间发现了一些差异，然而，大多数结果表明，尽管人们经历特定生活事件或担忧的频率在成年后有所不同，但这些事件或担忧与抑郁症状之间的关系在不同年龄组之间是相似的。
The authors investigated whether several life events or concerns were differentially related to depressive symptoms across 3 adult age groups (young adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults). They examined the relationships of 2 measures of depressive symptoms to work status and satisfaction, relationship status and satisfaction, loneliness, recent losses, parenting strain, and caregiving. Some differences between age groups in these relationships were found, Yet, most results suggested that, although the frequency with which people experience specific Life events or concerns varies across the adult life span, the relationships between these events or concerns and depressive symptoms are similar across age groups.
