大部分文献调查应对和精神病理学之间的关联是横截面，或协会已经调查了单向的方式，因此，应对和精神病理学之间的双向性仍然在很大程度上未经检验。为了解决这一差距，本研究探讨了应对和心理病理学之间的双向关系，在青春期前。参与者（N = 532，51%男性）和他们的主要照顾者都完成了评估青春期前应对方式的问卷（即，回避者、解决问题者、寻求社会支持者）和精神病理学症状（即，广泛性焦虑、社交焦虑、抑郁、饮食病理学），1年后，第1波（M-年龄= 11.18岁，SD = 0.56，范围= 10-12）和第2波（M-年龄= 12.18岁，SD = 0.53，范围= 11-13，52%男性）。交叉滞后面板模型显示，儿童报告的回避应对预测增加的症状，广泛性和社交焦虑，饮食病理。在单独的儿童和父母模型中，抑郁症状预测回避应对的增加。更大的父母报告的儿童抑郁症状也预测减少解决问题的应对。两者合计，结果表明，独特的纵向协会之间的应对和精神病理学在青春期前，回避应对之前增加的焦虑和饮食病理症状，抑郁症状预测后增加适应不良的应对。
Much of the literature investigating the association between coping and psychopathology is cross-sectional, or associations have been investigated in a unidirectional manner; hence, bidirectionality between coping and psychopathology remains largely untested. To address this gap, this study investigated bidirectional relations between coping and psychopathology during pre-adolescence. Participants (N = 532, 51% male) and their primary caregiver both completed questionnaires assessing pre-adolescents' coping (i.e., avoidant, problem solving, social support seeking) and symptoms of psychopathology (i.e., generalized anxiety, social anxiety, depression, eating pathology) in Wave 1 (M-age = 11.18 years, SD = 0.56, range = 10-12) and Wave 2 (M-age = 12.18 years, SD = 0.53, range = 11-13, 52% male), one year later. Cross-lagged panel models showed child-reported avoidant coping predicted increases in symptoms of generalized and social anxiety, and eating pathology. In separate child and parent models, symptoms of depression predicted increases in avoidant coping. Greater parent-reported child depressive symptoms also predicted decreases in problem solving coping. Taken together, results suggest unique longitudinal associations between coping and psychopathology in pre-adolescence, with avoidant coping preceding increases in symptoms of anxiety and eating pathology, and depressive symptoms predicting later increases in maladaptive coping.
