Abstract

This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between cumulative family risk and adolescents' depressive symptoms, and to investigate the mediating role of interpersonal trust through a longitudinal design. Participants were selected from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) project, with data collected in 2016 (T1) and 2018 (T2). A total of 785 adolescents participated in the study and completed questionnaires. (1) The cross-lagged model revealed that cumulative family risk positively predicted adolescents' depressive symptoms at both T1 and T2. (2) Cumulative family risk at T1 negatively predicted interpersonal trust at T2, which in turn negatively predicted depressive symptoms at T2. Thus, interpersonal trust at T2 served as a longitudinal mediator in the effect of cumulative family risk at T1 on depressive symptoms at T2. These results deepen our understanding of the mechanisms by which cumulative family risk influences depressive symptoms and offer strategies for mitigating depressive symptoms in adolescents.

累积家庭风险与青少年抑郁症状的纵向研究：人际信任的中介作用。

本研究旨在通过纵向设计，探讨累积家庭风险与青少年抑郁症状的关系，并探讨人际信任的中介作用。参与者从中国家庭小组研究（CFPS）项目中选择，数据收集于2016年（T1）和2018年（T2）。共有785名青少年参与了这项研究并完成了问卷调查。(1)交叉滞后模型显示，累积家庭风险对青少年T1和T2的抑郁症状均有正向预测作用。(2) T1累积家庭风险负向预测T2人际信任，T2人际信任负向预测T2抑郁症状。因此，T2的人际信任在T1累积家庭风险对T2抑郁症状的影响中起纵向中介作用。这些结果加深了我们对累积家庭风险影响抑郁症状的机制的理解，并为减轻青少年抑郁症状提供了策略。
