尽管最近发现单相抑郁在青少年中的患病率与成年人一样高，但人们对抑郁认知理论对青少年的适用性知之甚少。本研究调查了男性和女性抑郁、缓解期和精神控制组青少年认知功能障碍的性质、特异性和稳定性。对一系列不同测量的因素分析得出了两个因素，分别是负面认知和归因风格。这两个因素的得分都与目前的抑郁症诊断有关。结果还表明，抑郁症的诊断缓解可能不会完全恢复认知功能(或抑郁情绪)。最后，虽然消极认知因素的高分似乎是抑郁症特有的，但抑郁青少年和精神控制青少年在归因风格因素方面的分数没有差异。
Despite recent findings that the prevalence of unipolar depression is as high in adolescents as it is in adults, relatively little is known about the applicability of cognitive theories of depression to adolescents. The present study examined the nature, specificity, and stability of cognitive dysfunction in male and female depressed, remitted, and psychiatric control adolescents. Factor analysis of a diverse set of measures yielded two factors, labelled Negative Cognitions and Attributional Style. Scores on both these factors were related to a current diagnosis of depression. Results also indicated that there may not be complete recovery of cognitive functioning (or of depressed mood) with diagnostic remission of depression. Finally, whereas elevated scores on the Negative Cognitions factor appeared to be specific to depression, the depressed and psychiatric control adolescents did not differ with respect to their scores on the Attributional Style factor.
