Abstract

Introduction

Depressive symptoms, goal progress, and goal characteristics are interrelated, but the directionality of these relationships is unclear.

Methods

In a 6-wave longitudinal study (N = 431; 2002 total surveys), we examine the bidirectionality of the relationships between depressive symptoms, goal characteristics (commitment, self-efficacy, and perception of other's support), and goal progress for academic and interpersonal goals at 2-week intervals. Separate random-intercept cross-lagged panel models were tested for each goal characteristic across both goals.

Results

At the within-person level, goal progress significantly positively predicted commitment, self-efficacy, and perception of others' support for the goal. Most of the other hypothesized paths were nonsignificant, including paths between depressive symptoms and progress. At the between-person level, all variables were significantly correlated, with some effects significantly larger for the interpersonal than the academic goal.

Discussion

The results suggest that when it comes to depressive symptoms and goal pursuit, general tendencies may be more important than variations over 2-week intervals.

抑郁症状与目标追求：多波纵向研究中的人际效应和人内互惠效应。

简介：抑郁症状、目标进展和目标特征相互关联，但这些关系的方向性并不明确：抑郁症状、目标进展和目标特征是相互关联的，但这些关系的方向性并不明确：在一项为期 6 波的纵向研究（N = 431；共 2002 次调查）中，我们研究了抑郁症状、目标特征（承诺、自我效能感和对他人支持的感知）与学业目标和人际目标进展之间每两周间隔的双向关系。针对两个目标的每个目标特征，分别对随机截距交叉滞后面板模型进行了测试：结果：在个人层面上，目标进展对承诺、自我效能感和他人对目标支持的感知有显著的正向预测作用。其他大多数假设路径都不显著，包括抑郁症状与目标进展之间的路径。在人与人之间的层面上，所有变量都有显著的相关性，其中人际关系目标的某些影响明显大于学习目标：讨论：研究结果表明，就抑郁症状和目标追求而言，总体趋势可能比两周内的变化更为重要。
