Introduction

This study aimed at differentiating normative developmental turmoil from prodromal depressive symptoms in adolescence.

Method

Negative and positive mood (daily) in different contexts (friends, home, school), and (subsequent) depressive symptoms were assessed in Dutch adolescents.

Results & conclusion

Mixture modeling on one cross-sectional study, using a newly developed questionnaire (CSEQ; subsample 1a; n = 571; girls 55.9%; Mage = 14.17) and two longitudinal datasets with Experience Sampling Methods data (subsample 1b: n = 241; Mage = 13.81; 62.2% girls, sample 2: n = 286; 59.7% girls; Mage = 14.19) revealed three mood profiles: 18–24% "happy", 43–53% "typically developing", and 27–38% "at-risk". Of the "at-risk" profile between 12.5% and 25% of the adolescents scored above the clinical cut-off for depression. These mood profiles predicted later depressive symptoms, while controlling for earlier symptoms. In subsample 1b, parents were not always aware of the mental health status of their adolescent.

脾气暴躁还是沮丧？使用经验抽样方法从前驱抑郁症中解开典型的青少年情绪发展

介绍

本研究旨在将规范性发育混乱与青春期前驱抑郁症状区分开来。

方法

在荷兰青少年中评估了不同环境（朋友、家庭、学校）中的消极和积极情绪（每天）和（随后的）抑郁症状。

结果与结论

一项横断面研究的混合建模，使用新开发的问卷（CSEQ；子样本 1a；n = 571；女孩 55.9%；Mage = 14.17）和两个具有经验抽样方法数据的纵向数据集（子样本 1b：n = 241；Mage = 13.81；62.2% 的女孩，样本 2：n = 286；59.7% 的女孩；法师 = 14.19）揭示了三种情绪特征：18-24%“快乐”、43-53%“典型发展”和 27-38%“有风险”。在 12.5% 到 25% 的青少年中，“有风险”的情况高于抑郁症的临床临界值。这些情绪特征预测了后期的抑郁症状，同时控制了早期的症状。在子样本 1b 中，父母并不总是了解他们青少年的心理健康状况。
