本研究调查了儿童抑郁症和成人宗教性保护品质之间的关系。受试者为146名（65名女性和81名男性）有儿童抑郁症病史的成年人和123名（61名女性和62名男性）没有儿童抑郁症病史的成年人，作为长期随访研究的一部分（平均随访年数，11.2; SD = 1.4）。儿童期和成年期的抑郁症分别采用学龄儿童情感障碍量表和终身版情感障碍量表进行盲法和独立临床访谈。宗教信仰的个人重要性，参加宗教服务的频率，宗教教派，和儿童-成人报告的一致性的报告进行了评估。研究结果表明，成年人个人的宗教重要性与没有儿童抑郁症史的女性抑郁症风险降低有关，但与有儿童抑郁症史的女性抑郁症风险增加有关。与新教相比，成年天主教与男性儿童抑郁症患者的抑郁风险降低有关，但这种关联在没有儿童抑郁症的男性中没有发现。这些发现可能表明儿童病理学和宗教性发展之间存在相互影响的过程。
This study investigates the association between childhood depression and the protective qualities of adult religiousness. Subjects were 146 (65 female and 81 male) adults with a history of childhood depression and 123 (61 female and 62 male) adults without a history of childhood depression interviewed as part of a long-term follow-up study (mean years of follow-up, 11.2; SD = 1.4). Depression in childhood and adulthood was assessed by blind and independent clinical interviews by using the Schedule for Affective Disorders for School Aged Children and the Schedule for Affective Disorders Life-time Version, respectively. Religiousness was assessed by report on the personal importance of religion, frequency of attendance of religious services, religious denomination, and child-adult concordance of report. Findings showed adult personal importance of religion to be associated with a decreased risk for depression in women without a history of childhood depression but an increased risk for depression in women with a history of childhood depression. Adult Catholicism as compared with Protestantism was associated with a decreased risk for depression in male childhood depressives, but this association was not found in men without childhood depression. The findings potentially suggest a reciprocal-influence process between childhood pathology and the development of religiousness.
