已经积累的研究表明，抑郁症状与青春期的异性恋爱有关，但相对较少的工作将这一文献与现有的关于青春期早期时间与青春期抑郁症状之间关系的文献联系起来。本研究扩展了先前的研究，在全国黑人少女样本（N = 607； M年龄= 15岁；32%的加勒比黑人和68%的非洲裔美国人）中，研究初潮早期和异性恋恋爱是否相互作用，以预测抑郁症状。我们进一步研究了异性恋恋爱和月经初潮的不利影响是否会被来自母亲、父亲和同伴的感知社会支持所介导。通径分析结果表明，与没有恋爱关系的女孩相比，报告目前有异性恋爱关系的女孩也报告了更高水平的同伴支持。高水平的同伴支持反过来预示着低水平的抑郁症状。初潮早的恋爱女孩的抑郁症状也明显少于初潮不早的女孩。感知到的母亲支持和感知到的父亲支持都没有介导异性恋爱、初潮和抑郁症状之间的关联。研究结果表明，个体和社会因素可以阻碍异性恋恋爱对黑人青春期女孩抑郁症状的影响。
Research has accumulated to demonstrate that depressive symptoms are associated with heterosexual romantic involvement during adolescence, but relatively little work has linked this body of literature to the existing literature on associations between early pubertal timing and adolescent depressive symptoms. This study extends prior research by examining whether early menarche and heterosexual romantic involvement interact to predict depressive symptoms in a national sample of Black adolescent girls (N = 607; M age = 15 years; 32 % Caribbean Black and 68 % African American). We further examined whether the adverse effects of heterosexual romantic involvement and early menarche would be mediated by perceived social support from mothers, fathers, and peers. Path analysis results indicated that girls who report current involvement in a heterosexual romantic relationship also reported high levels of perceived peer support than girls with no romantic involvement. High levels of perceived peer support, in turn, predicted low levels of depressive symptoms. Romantically involved girls with an early menarche also reported significantly less depressive symptoms than girls not romantically involved with an early menarche. Neither perceived maternal support nor perceived paternal support mediated associations between heterosexual romantic involvement, menarche, and depressive symptoms. The findings suggest that individual and social factors can impede heterosexual romantic involvement effects on depressive symptoms in Black adolescent girls.
