ABSTRACT We examined whether there were racial difference in the how weight perception and depressive symptoms were related over time. Using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (n = 12,269), we ran a multiple-group autoregressive crosslagged panel model. Depressive symptoms and weight perception remained consistent from adolescence to young adulthood for most of the racial groups. There was some variability across racial groups in how depressive symptoms in adolescence and weight perception in emerging adulthood were related. Clinicians should be mindful of the cultural impact on factors affecting the emotional and perceptual experience of the client.

抑郁症和体重感知对种族群体的不同影响

摘要 我们检查了体重感知和抑郁症状随时间的相关性是否存在种族差异。使用全国青少年到成人健康纵向研究（n = 12,269），我们运行了一个多组自回归交叉滞后面板模型。对于大多数种族来说，从青春期到青年期，抑郁症状和体重感知保持一致。在青春期抑郁症状与成年期体重感知之间的相关性方面，种族群体之间存在一些差异。临床医生应该注意文化对影响客户情绪和感知体验的因素的影响。
