目标.主要目的是检查是否应对赤字，更大的倾向，利用适应不良，而不是适应性应对策略，与抑郁症状的增加负性事件。次要目标检查：共同的脆弱性假设，性别差异和跨文化的普遍性。在初步评估之后，加拿大青少年每6周完成3次随访评估。中国青少年完成了初步评估和六个后续评估每月发生。在时间1，150名加拿大和397名中国青少年完成了自我报告的措施，评估抑郁症状，焦虑症状，负性事件和应对。在每次随访评估中，参与者完成了评估抑郁症状、焦虑症状和阴性事件的自我报告措施。在这两个样本中，更高水平的应对缺陷与消极事件后抑郁症状的增加有关，但与焦虑症状无关。性别差异没有出现。结论。本研究提供了一个理论驱动的模型来检验基础广泛的应对对抑郁症状发展的影响。
Objectives. The primary aim examined whether coping deficits, a greater tendency to utilize maladaptive as opposed to adaptive coping strategies, was associated with increases in depressive symptoms following negative events. The secondary goals examined: the common vulnerability hypothesis, sex differences, and the cross-cultural generalizability.Design. Following the initial assessment, Canadian adolescents completed three follow-up assessments every 6 weeks. The Chinese adolescents completed an initial assessment and six follow-up assessments occurring monthly.Methods. At Time 1, 150 Canadian and 397 Chinese adolescents completed self-report measures assessing depressive symptoms, anxious symptoms, negative events, and coping. During each of the follow-up assessments, participants completed self-report measures assessing depressive symptoms, anxious symptoms, and negative events.Results. In both samples, higher levels of coping deficits were associated with increases in depressive, but not anxious, symptoms following negative events. Gender differences did not emerge.Conclusions. The present study provides a theoretically driven model to examine the impact of broad-based coping on the development of depressive symptoms.
