:Introduction:While physical activity has been shown to promote positive mental health and aid in treatment, the association between involvement in other activities and depressive symptoms among adolescents remains unclear. We sought to fill a gap in the literature by examining relationships between involvement in sports, art, and leadership activities during high school and depressive symptoms among adolescents. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that all types of involvement would be associated with lower levels of depressive symptoms.Methods:We performed a secondary data analysis using the 2016 Minnesota Student Survey, a population-based survey of students in grades 9 and 11 (N=81,885). Descriptive sample statistics (e.g., frequencies) and chi-square tests, stratified by sex, were used to examine relationships between depressive symptoms and involvement in different extracurricular activities among males and females. Analyses were performed using SPSS.Results:For males and females, involvement in sports was associated with lower levels of depression, compared to non-involvement. Compared to males who did not participate in arts (16.6%), those who did were significantly more likely to report depressive symptoms (21.2%). In addition, females involved in leadership activities were significantly less likely to report depressive symptoms (21.9%) than those who were not involved in these activities (28.7%). Consistent with previous research, females were more likely to report depressive symptoms than males. Females also were more likely to participate in arts and leadership activities.Conclusion:For males and females, sports participation, and for females, involvement in leadership activities, may represent protective factors against depressive symptoms during adolescence. However, clinicians might consider inquiring about depressive symptoms among adolescent males involved in art-related activities.

102 高中生的课外活动参与和抑郁

: 简介：虽然身体活动已被证明可以促进积极的心理健康并有助于治疗，但参与其他活动与青少年抑郁症状之间的关联仍不清楚。我们试图通过研究高中期间参与体育、艺术和领导活动与青少年抑郁症状之间的关系来填补文献空白。假设：我们假设所有类型的参与都与较低水平的抑郁症状相关。方法：我们使用 2016 年明尼苏达州学生调查进行了二次数据分析，这是一项针对 9 年级和 11 年级学生的基于人群的调查（N=81,885 ）。描述性样本统计（例如频率）和卡方检验，按性别分层，用于检查男性和女性的抑郁症状与参与不同课外活动之间的关系。使用 SPSS 进行分析。结果：对于男性和女性，与不参与相比，参与体育运动与较低水平的抑郁症相关。与不参加艺术活动的男性（16.6%）相比，参加艺术活动的男性更容易出现抑郁症状（21.2%）。此外，参与领导活动的女性报告抑郁症状的可能性（21.9%）明显低于未参与这些活动的女性（28.7%）。与之前的研究一致，女性比男性更容易出现抑郁症状。女性也更有可能参加艺术和领导活动。结论：对于男性和女性，体育参与，以及女性参与领导活动，可能是青春期抑郁症状的保护因素。然而，临床医生可能会考虑询问参与艺术相关活动的青少年男性的抑郁症状。
