一项为期6年的纵向小组研究调查了整个青春期抑郁情绪的绝对和相对稳定性，报告了538名13至19岁青少年的样本数据。结果表明：(I)在所有年龄段，女孩的抑郁情绪平均得分都高于男孩。(2)在男孩中，抑郁情绪的平均分数没有实质性的变化，而在女孩中，有轻微的趋势曲线的趋势，在青春期中期达到峰值水平。(3)青少年抑郁情绪有保持其相对水平的趋势，从15岁到19岁，持续4年。(4)抑郁情绪是最稳定的一个亚组的青少年谁具有较高的初始抑郁情绪评分。(5)通过应用结构方程模型，结果表明，抑郁情绪的稳定（“特质”）的组成部分的重要性随着年龄的增加而增加，而时间（“状态”）的组成部分随着年龄的增加而减少。
A 6-year longitudinal panel study investigated the absolute and relative stability in depressed mood throughout adolescence by reporting data from a sample of 538 adolescents between 13 and 19 years of age. Results revealed the following. (I) Girls had on average higher depressed mood scores than boys at all ages. (2) Among boys there were no substantial changes in depressed mood mean scores, while among girls there was a slight tendency of a curvilinear trend, with a peak level reached in midadolescence. (3) There was a tendency for adolescents to retain their relative level in depressed mood, mast pronounced for a period of 4 years, from age 15 to age 19 years. (4) Depressed mood was most stable in a subgroup of adolescents who had high initial depressed mood scores. (5) By applying structural equation modeling, it was shown that the stable ("trait") component of depressed mood increased in importance with increasing age, while the temporal ("state") component decreased with increased age.
