本研究考察了中国青少年依恋认知、压力源与情绪困扰的关系。具体来说，它被检查是否负依恋认知预测抑郁症和焦虑症状，如果一个可承受性压力或压力生成模型最好地解释了负依恋认知和内化症状之间的关系。参与者包括来自长沙市一所城市学校的558名青少年（310名女性和248名男性）和来自浏阳市一所农村学校的592名青少年（287名女性和305名男性），这两所学校都位于中国大陆的湖南省。参与者在基线时完成了对消极依恋认知的自我报告测量，在基线时和在6个月的随访中定期完成了对消极事件、抑郁症状和焦虑症状的自我报告测量（即，六项后续评估）。高水平的消极依恋认知预测未来的抑郁和焦虑症状。此外，支持被发现的压力产生模型，部分介导这种纵向关联。没有支持被发现的可扩展性应力模型。总的来说，这些发现突出了中国大陆青少年抑郁和焦虑症状发展的新发展途径。
The present study examined the relation between attachment cognitions, stressors, and emotional distress in a sample of Chinese adolescents. Specifically, it was examined whether negative attachment cognitions predicted depression and anxiety symptoms, and if a vulnerability-stress or stress generation model best explained the relation between negative attachment cognitions and internalizing symptoms. Participants included 558 adolescents (310 females and 248 males) from an urban school in Changsha, and 592 adolescents (287 females and 305 males) from a rural school in Liuyang, both in Hunan province located in mainland China. Participants completed self-report measures of negative attachment cognitions at baseline, and self-report measures of negative events, depression symptoms, and anxiety symptoms at baseline and at regular one month intervals for an overall 6-month follow-up (i.e., six follow-up assessments). Higher levels of negative attachment cognitions predicted prospective depression and anxiety symptoms. Furthermore, support was found for a stress generation model that partially mediated this longitudinal association. No support was found for a vulnerability-stress model. Overall, these findings highlight new developmental pathways for development of depression and anxiety symptoms in mainland Chinese adolescents.
