本研究采用儿童和父母每月症状报告，探讨了高危青少年抑郁情绪变化和增长的同伴预测因素。176名父母和他们10至14岁的孩子分别参加了一系列每月一次的访谈。多层次增长模型，研究了随时间变化的父母和孩子的抑郁症状的报告，控制年龄，性别和治疗状态的同伴预测。在每月的儿童抑郁情绪报告中，越轨的同伴关系显著预测了抑郁症状的升高，尤其是对年轻的青少年。儿童的犯罪水平与父母报告的抑郁症状显着相关，并且仅与年龄较大的青少年的儿童报告的症状显着相关。正如预期的那样，抑郁情绪在女孩中更高，在年龄较大的青少年中更普遍。结果表明，同伴过程可能与抑郁症的发展有关，特别是在高危青少年中。
This study examined peer predictors of variation and growth in depressed mood among high-risk adolescents, using child and parent reports of monthly symptoms. One hundred seventy-six parents and their 10- to 14-year-old children separately took part in a series of tip to time monthly interviews. Multilevel growth model., examined both time-varying peer predictors of parent and child reports of the child's depressive symptoms, controlling for age, gender, and treatment status. Deviant peer affiliation significantly predicted elevated depressive symptoms in the monthly child-report of depressed mood, especially for younger adolescents. Children's level of delinquency was significantly related to parent-reported depressive symptoms, and to child-reported symptoms in older adolescents only. As expected, depressed mood was higher for girls and more prevalent among older adolescents. The results suggest that peer processes may be linked in time to the development of depression, especially among high-risk adolescents.
