儿童时期的品行问题常常与抑郁症状同时出现。本研究通过对323名幼儿园儿童进行为期2个学年的跟踪调查，探讨行为问题的发展是否与抑郁症状间接相关。结果表明，品行问题的发展与抑郁症状的发展通过同伴拒绝的经历间接相关。对于男孩和女孩来说，这些联系是相似的。结果表明，儿童在学校早期出现抑郁症状的部分原因可以用连锁效应来解释，在这种效应中，品行问题的发展导致不良的同伴经验，最终预测抑郁症状。
Conduct problems in childhood often co-occur with symptoms of depression. This study explored whether the development of conduct problems becomes indirectly linked to depressive symptoms in a sample of 323 kindergarten children, followed over a period of 2 school years. Results showed that the development of conduct problems was indirectly linked to the development of depressive symptoms via experiences of peer rejection. These links were similar for boys and girls. Results underscore that part of the development of childhood symptoms of depression in the early years of school can be explained by a cascade effect in which the development of conduct problems results into poor peer experiences, which ultimately predict depressive symptoms.
