在一项8波、2个队列的纵向研究中，儿童和青少年被跟踪调查，从5年级的秋季到8年级的春季。参与者(N=1269)、他们的父母和同龄人每隔6个月完成一次抑郁症状的报告。使用两组潜变量自回归模型来检验抑郁症状的稳定性，揭示了几种趋势。首先，男孩和女孩抑郁症状的6个月稳定性都很高。第二，在6年级的春季和7年级的秋季之间，抑郁联会的稳定性比研究中的任何其他时间点都要低。最后，抑郁症状的稳定性没有性别差异。
In an 8-wave, 2-cohort longitudinal study, children and adolescents were followed from the fall of 5th grade to the spring of 8th grade. Participants (N = 1,269), their parents, and peers completed reports of depressive symptoms at 6-month intervals. The use of a 2-group latent variable autoregressive model to examine the stability of depressive symptomatology revealed several trends. First, the 6-month stability of depressive symptoms was high for boys and girls. Second, the stability of depressive syniptomatology was lower between the spring of 6th grade and the fall of 7th grade than during any other point in the study. Finally, the stability of depressive symptoms did not differ with respect to gender.
