目的：评估青春期女孩身体成熟对宗教信仰抵抗抑郁的保护作用。方法：受试者为3356名青春期女孩(平均年龄16.0岁，SD=1.8)，是北卡罗来纳州青少年健康研究第一波家庭版的一部分。成熟度根据第二性征和月经开始年龄的自我报告来评估，宗教信仰根据个人奉献、个人保守性、制度保守性和对宗教社区的参与来评估。对用于预测抑郁的宗教信仰的每个变量进行了Logistic回归分析，并控制了年龄和种族。结果：在非高成熟女孩中，个人的虔诚和对宗教社区的参与使抑郁的可能性降低19%至26%，而在高成熟女孩中，其抑郁的可能性相对较强地降低32%至43%。在非高成熟女孩中，个人保守和制度保守与抑郁的可能性降低17%至24%相关，但在高成熟女孩中与抑郁无关。结论：青春期女孩的身体成熟可能与宗教信仰对抑郁的保护性有关。
Objective: To assess the impact of physical maturation on the protective qualities of religiosity against depression in adolescent girls, Method: Subjects were 3,356 adolescent girls (mean age 16.0, SD = 1.8) interviewed in 1995 as part of the Wave I In-Home Version of the North Carolina Adolescent Health Study. Maturation was assessed on the basis of self-report of secondary sexual characteristics and age at onset of menstruation, Religiosity was assessed on the basis of personal devotion, personal conservatism, institutional conservatism, and participation in religious community. Logistic regression analyses were conducted with each variable of religiosity used to predict depression, controlling for age and ethnicity. Results: Personal devotion and participation in religious community were associated with a 19% to 26% decreased likelihood of depression in non-highly mature girls and a relatively more robust 32% to 43% decreased likelihood of depression in highly mature girls. Personal conservatism and institutional conservatism were associated with a 17% to 24% decreased likelihood of depression among non-highly mature girls, but were not associated with depression in highly mature girls. Conclusion: Physical maturation may be associated with the protective qualities of religiosity against depression in adolescent girls.
