Abstract

Background: Depression of adolescents seriously affects their mental health as well as the formation and development of sound personality. According to Family Systems Theory, individuals' mental health is closely related with external (e.g. domestic violence) and internal factor (e.g. self-evaluation). The formation mechanism of depression needs deep investigation in order to provide better educational intervention for students and promote their healthy development.

Aim: The study examined the relationship among domestic violence, depression, and self-evaluation.

Methods: The data were collected from 1,011 Chinese adolescents (M_age = 12.04 ± 1.71) by the questionnaire of Family Violence Scale, Depression Questionnaire, and Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale.

Results: We found domestic violence and depression were significantly positively correlated (r = .25, p < .001); self-evaluation was significantly negatively correlated with domestic violence (r = -.26, p < .001) and depression (r = -.50, p < .001). Moreover, domestic violence could directly and positively predict depressed psychology, and could also indirectly predict depressed psychology through the mediating effect of self-evaluation.

Conclusion: The level of depression of adolescents was closely related with domestic violence and self-evaluation. And self-evaluation played a mediating role between domestic violence and self-evaluation.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Social Psychiatry, established in 1954, is a leading publication dedicated to the field of social psychiatry. It serves as a platform for the exchange of research findings and discussions on the influence of social, environmental, and cultural factors on mental health and well-being. The journal is particularly relevant to psychiatrists and multidisciplinary professionals globally who are interested in understanding the broader context of psychiatric disorders and their impact on individuals and communities. Social psychiatry, as a discipline, focuses on the origins and outcomes of mental health issues within a social framework, recognizing the interplay between societal structures and individual mental health. The journal draws connections with related fields such as social anthropology, cultural psychiatry, and sociology, and is influenced by the latest developments in these areas. The journal also places a special emphasis on fast-track publication for brief communications, ensuring that timely and significant research can be disseminated quickly. Additionally, it strives to reflect its international readership by publishing state-of-the-art reviews from various regions around the world, showcasing the diverse practices and perspectives within the psychiatric disciplines. This approach not only contributes to the scientific understanding of social psychiatry but also supports the global exchange of knowledge and best practices in mental health care.
