尽管家庭环境和年轻人的情绪症状之间有很强的联系，但到目前为止，很少有研究检查潜在的潜在机制。我们提出了一个病因学模型，研究父母教养(即表达的情绪)如何通过塑造青少年的情绪调节能力来影响他们的抑郁。46名青年和照顾者参与了这项横断面研究。采用5分钟语音样本(FMSS)和情绪表达水平量表(Lee)评定家庭环境。采用情绪调节困难量表(DERS)和儿童抑郁量表修订版(CDRS-R)分别评定青少年情绪调节障碍和抑郁症状。分析表明，父母自我评价的报告者类型(独立评分者、父母、青少年)与批评之间没有显著的关系。中介分析表明，青少年报告的父母EE预测青少年抑郁症状的水平更高，这种联系是通过情绪调节来调节的。这项研究具有直接的临床意义，阐明了加强积极的亲子沟通对支持青少年情绪调节技能和心理健康发展的重要性。
Despite a strong connection between family environment and mood symptoms in youth, little research to date has examined potential underlying mechanisms. We propose an etiological model investigating how parenting (i.e., expressed emotion, or EE) affects youth depression by shaping their emotion regulation abilities. Forty-six youth and caregivers participated in this cross-sectional study. Family environment was assessed using the Five-Minute Speech Sample (FMSS) and the Levels of Expressed Emotion Scale (LEE). The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) and the Children's Depression Rating Scale-Revised (CDRS-R) were used to assess youth emotion regulation and depressive symptoms, respectively. Analyses demonstrated no significant relationships between type of reporter (i.e., independent rater, parent, youth) of parental EE and criticism. Mediation analyses suggested that youth-reported parental EE predicted greater levels of youth depressive symptoms, and that this association was mediated by emotion regulation. This study has direct clinical implications, elucidating the importance of strengthening positive parent-child communication to support the development of emotion regulation skills and psychological well-being for youth.
