本研究的目的是探讨抑郁症与非裔美国学生的大学成绩之间的关系，以及确定这些关系是否受到性别和大学类型的调节。参与者包括569名非洲裔美国一年级学生参加两所公立大学在美国东南部：一个历史上的黑人学院/大学（HBCU）和一个主要是白色机构（PWI）。采用纵向研究设计，在三个时间点收集数据。结果表明，调整后的控制变量（性别，机构类型，高中GPA，参与校园活动，机构和目标的承诺）的影响，抑郁性抑郁症目前在大学的第一学期与大学辍学的可能性增加大学第二年结束前。这两个变量之间的关系是介导的第一年累计GPA。研究结果还表明，假设的关系并没有改变性别和大学类型的功能。
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between depressive symptomatology and college outcomes among African American students, as well as to determine whether these relationships were moderated by gender and type of university. Participants included 569 African American first-year students attending two public universities in the Southeast United States: a historically Black college/university (HBCU) and a predominantly White institution (PWI). Using a longitudinal study design, data were collected at three time points. Results indicated that, after adjusting for the effects of the control variables (gender, type of institution, high school GPA, participation in on-campus activities, institutional and goal commitments), depressive symptomatology present in the first semester of college was associated with increased likelihood of dropping out of college before the end of the second year of college. The relationship between these two variables was mediated by first-year cumulative GPA. Results also indicated that the hypothesized relationships did not vary as a function of gender and the university type.
