Abstract

Adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD) experience significant difficulties in emotion regulation. This study aimed to explore emotion regulation in adolescents with depression using an emotion regulation paradigm combined with event-related potentials (ERP) while investigating the relationship between maternal emotion regulation and adolescent depressive symptoms through a mediation model. Overall, 38 healthy controls (HC) and 57 adolescents with depression (MDD) rated the pictures they saw according to aversive reappraisal (reappraisal of an aversive picture or down-regulate aversive emotions), aversive watch, and neutral conditions. Adolescents with depression gave more negative ratings to aversive images, and the emotional regulation success index (ERSI) of adolescents with depression was lower than that of healthy individuals. ERP data revealed an elevation in late positive potential (LPP) amplitude during the aversive reappraisal and aversive watch conditions compared with that in the neutral condition in the MDD group. Compared with the HC group, adolescents with depression showed larger LPP amplitudes under aversive watch conditions. The aversive reappraisal condition evoked a larger LPP than that in the other conditions in the HC group in the late time windows. The ΔLPP (separating the variability in the ERP wave associated with emotion regulation) was larger in the HC group than in the MDD group. Mediation analysis revealed that maternal emotion regulation influenced adolescent depression levels through its effect on the adolescent’s emotion regulation. These findings provide important insights into the emotion regulation process in adolescents with depression and offer suggestions for clinical interventions.

母亲的情绪调节能力会影响青少年的抑郁症状：ERP研究

患有重度抑郁症（MDD）的青少年在情绪调节方面会遇到很大困难。本研究旨在使用情绪调节范式结合事件相关电位（ERP）来探讨抑郁症青少年的情绪调节，同时通过中介模型研究母亲情绪调节与青少年抑郁症状之间的关系。总体而言，38 名健康对照组（HC）和 57 名抑郁症青少年（MDD）按照厌恶性重评（重评厌恶性图片或下调厌恶性情绪）、厌恶性观察和中性条件对他们看到的图片进行了评分。患有抑郁症的青少年对厌恶性图片给予了更多的负面评价，而患有抑郁症的青少年的情绪调节成功指数（ERSI）低于健康人。ERP数据显示，在厌恶重评和厌恶观看条件下，MDD组的晚期正电位（LPP）振幅比中性条件下的振幅高。与HC组相比，抑郁症青少年在厌恶观察条件下的LPP振幅更大。在晚期时间窗，厌恶性再评价条件下的 LPP 比 HC 组其他条件下的 LPP 更大。与 MDD 组相比，HC 组的ΔLPP（分离与情绪调节相关的 ERP 波的变异性）更大。中介分析显示，母亲的情绪调节通过对青少年情绪调节的影响来影响青少年的抑郁水平。这些发现为了解青少年抑郁症患者的情绪调节过程提供了重要启示，并为临床干预提供了建议。

期刊介绍： The Asian Journal of Psychiatry serves as a comprehensive resource for psychiatrists, mental health clinicians, neurologists, physicians, mental health students, and policymakers. Its goal is to facilitate the exchange of research findings and clinical practices between Asia and the global community. The journal focuses on psychiatric research relevant to Asia, covering preclinical, clinical, service system, and policy development topics. It also highlights the socio-cultural diversity of the region in relation to mental health.
