本研究探讨了青少年约会伴侣中拒绝敏感性、自我沉默行为和抑郁症之间的联系。自我沉默被假设为介导拒绝敏感性和抑郁症状之间的关联的过程。我们的样本包括211对14至21岁的夫妇，他们至少约会了4周。结果表明，与对拒绝不那么敏感的约会青少年相比，对拒绝敏感的约会青少年在他们的浪漫关系中报告了更多的抑郁症和更高水平的自我沉默行为。自我沉默被认为是拒绝敏感性和抑郁性抑郁症之间的关联的部分中介。根据这些研究结果的临床意义进行了讨论。
This study examined the link between rejection sensitivity, self-silencing behaviors, and depressive symptomatology among adolescent dating couples. Self-silencing was hypothesized to be the process mediating the association between rejection sensitivity and depressive symptoms. Our sample included 211 couples between 14 and 21 who were dating at least 4 weeks. Results indicated that dating adolescents who were sensitive to rejection reported more depressive symptomatology and higher levels of self-silencing behaviors within their romantic relationship compared to dating adolescents who were not so sensitive to rejection. Self-silencing was identified as a partial mediator of the association between rejection sensitivity and depressive symptomatology among dating adolescents. Clinical implications in light of these findings are discussed.
