这项前瞻性研究考察了不同抑郁风险儿童的应激性生活事件、应对方式和抑郁症状之间的关系。受试者为227名7至17岁的儿童(平均年龄为12.13岁，SD=2.31，54.6%为女性)，他们是抑郁和非抑郁父母及其子女的纵向研究的一部分。青年在22个月的四个时间点完成了评估应激性生活事件和应对策略的测量。在每个时间点通过对父母和儿童的临床访谈和儿童自我报告来评估儿童的抑郁症状。结构方程模型表明，应激性生活事件显著预测随后的抑郁症状。对三种不同模型的间接效应进行的Bootstrap分析表明，初级控制、参与、应对和脱离应对策略部分地中介了应激性生活事件与儿童抑郁症状之间的关系。关于影响的方向，作为从压力到抑郁症状联系的中介，应对被发现比从症状到压力更一致的关系。因此，应激性生活事件可能导致儿童抑郁症状的一个潜在机制是通过减少使用主要控制应对而更多地使用脱离应对策略。这与以下观点是一致的，即压力的不利影响可能导致有效应对能力的损害。
The present prospective study examined the relations among stressful life events, coping, and depressive symptoms in children at varied risk for depression. Participants were 227 children between 7 and 17 years old (mean age = 12.13 years, SD = 2.31, 54.6% female) who were part of a longitudinal study of depressed and nondepressed parents and their children. Youth completed measures assessing stressful life events and coping strategies at four time points over 22 months. Children’s depressive symptoms were assessed at each time point by clinical interviews of parents and children, and children’s self-report. Structural equation modeling indicated that stressful life events significantly predicted subsequent depressive symptoms. Bootstrap analyses of the indirect effects in three different models revealed that primary control engagement coping and disengagement coping strategies partially mediated the relation between stressful life events and children’s depressive symptoms across time. Regarding the direction of effects, more consistent relations were found for coping as a mediator of the link from stress to depressive symptoms than from symptoms to stress. Thus, one potential mechanism by which stressful life events may contribute to depressive symptoms in children is through less use of primary control coping and greater use of disengagement coping strategies. This is consistent with the view that the adverse effects of stress may contribute to impairments in the ability to cope effectively.
