Longitudinal association between parent-child relationship and depression among Chinese adolescents: the role of psychological resilience and school climate.
Background: The relationship between the parent-child relationship and adolescent depression is much discussed, but still not fully understood. Based on ecological systems theory, this study examined the potential mediating role of psychological resilience and the moderating role of school climate between the association of parent-child relationship and adolescent depression.
Methods: This study employed a three-wave longitudinal design with six months between each time point, involving 549 elementary and middle school students in southeastern China (50.82% males; mean age at Time 1 = 11.43). Measurements included the parent-child relationship (T1), psychological resilience (T2), school climate (T3), depression (T1 and T3), and demographic information.
Results: The moderated mediation model demonstrated that after controlling for baseline adolescent depression (T1), the parent-child relationship (T1) was longitudinally and negatively associated with adolescent depression (T3) through the mediating effect of psychological resilience (T2). Additionally, the analysis revealed that a positive school climate moderated this mediation by mitigating the adverse impact of low psychological resilience on adolescent depression, thus reducing the indirect effect of the parent-child relationship on adolescent depression.
Conclusions: Our findings offer a nuanced understanding of the underlying mechanisms linking parent-child relationship to adolescent depression among Chinese adolescents. Theoretical contributions and practical applications of these findings are further elaborated.
期刊介绍:
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health, the official journal of the International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions, is an open access, online journal that provides an international platform for rapid and comprehensive scientific communication on child and adolescent mental health across different cultural backgrounds. CAPMH serves as a scientifically rigorous and broadly open forum for both interdisciplinary and cross-cultural exchange of research information, involving psychiatrists, paediatricians, psychologists, neuroscientists, and allied disciplines. The journal focusses on improving the knowledge base for the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of mental health conditions in children and adolescents, and aims to integrate basic science, clinical research and the practical implementation of research findings. In addition, aspects which are still underrepresented in the traditional journals such as neurobiology and neuropsychology of psychiatric disorders in childhood and adolescence are considered.
