Abstract

Research suggests co-rumination during adolescence has developmental tradeoffs that result in elevated self-disclosure and intimacy between friends but also can be associated with increases in depression (Rose et al. 2007; Rose 2002). The current study further examined this paradox by assessing the role of emotional competencies in co-rumination as they predict depressive symptoms over a 2-year period. We tested whether co-rumination moderated the relation between emotional awareness and emotion regulation and depressive symptoms in reciprocated best friend dyads. At Time 1, 202 adolescents (101 same-sex best friend dyads; Mage = 12.68, 52.5% girls, 76.6% White, middle-class) reported on their emotional competencies (i.e., emotional awareness and perceptions of their friend's anger and sadness regulation), and depressive symptoms as well as engaged in a discussion task where co-rumination was observed. Multilevel modeling (Actor-Partner Interdependence Modeling) was used to account for similarity within friend dyads. The results indicated that when girls engaged in high levels of co-rumination, poor emotional awareness was related to greater depressive symptoms in their friend. Regarding the analyses of emotion regulation, at high levels of co-rumination, Friend A's perceptions of stronger anger regulation by Friend B predicted fewer depressive symptoms in Friend A. Stronger sadness regulation in Friend B at high levels of co-rumination predicted fewer depressive symptoms in Friend B. Our findings highlight the potentially adaptive nature of emotional competencies that may ameliorate the negative sequelae of co-rumination as adolescents are afforded the opportunity to discuss problems, better understand their emotions, skills that are then associated with fewer depressive symptoms over time.

共同反刍调节青少年情绪能力与抑郁症状的关系:一项纵向检验。
研究表明,青春期的共同反思具有发展上的权衡,会导致自我表露和朋友之间的亲密关系增加,但也可能与抑郁症的增加有关(Rose等人,2007;玫瑰2002)。目前的研究通过评估情绪能力在共同反刍中的作用进一步检验了这一悖论,因为它们预测了2年期间的抑郁症状。我们测试了共同反刍是否调节了情感意识、情绪调节和抑郁症状之间的关系。在《时代》杂志上,202名青少年(101对同性最好的朋友;Mage = 12.68, 52.5%女孩,76.6%白人,中产阶级)报告了他们的情绪能力(即情绪意识和对朋友愤怒和悲伤调节的看法),抑郁症状以及参与讨论任务,其中观察到共同沉思。多层次模型(参与者-伙伴相互依赖模型)被用来解释朋友组之间的相似性。结果表明,当女孩进行高水平的共同反思时,情绪意识差与她们的朋友出现更严重的抑郁症状有关。关于情绪调节的分析,在高水平的共同反刍中,朋友A对朋友B更强的愤怒调节的认知预示着朋友A更少的抑郁症状。朋友B更强的悲伤调节在高水平的共同反刍下预示着朋友B更少的抑郁症状。我们的研究结果强调了情绪能力的潜在适应性,它可能会改善共同反刍的负面后遗症,因为青少年有机会讨论问题,更好地理解他们的情绪。随着时间的推移,这些技能与抑郁症状的减少有关。

期刊介绍: Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology brings together the latest innovative research that advances knowledge of psychopathology from infancy through adolescence. The journal publishes studies that have a strong theoretical framework and use a diversity of methods, with an emphasis on empirical studies of the major forms of psychopathology found in childhood disorders (e.g., disruptive behavior disorders, depression, anxiety, and autism spectrum disorder). Studies focus on the epidemiology, etiology, assessment, treatment, prognosis, and developmental course of these forms of psychopathology. Studies highlighting risk and protective factors; the ecology and correlates of children''s emotional, social, and behavior problems; and advances in prevention and treatment are featured. Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology is the official journal of the International Society for Research in Child and Adolescent Psychopathology (ISRCAP), a multidisciplinary scientific society.
