A significant body of research has demonstrated that mentoring relationships support positive youth development. The quality of the mentoring relationship has been identified as a predictor of positive youth outcomes. However, limited research has examined how engagement in a mentoring program may be related to youth depressive symptoms specifically. The current study utilized a sample of 2003 youth participating in mentoring programs across the country (Mage = 12.32, SD = 1.42, 55.1% female) from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds (39.1% Black, 23.6% White, 22.1% Hispanic, 3.3% Native American or Alaskan Native, .4% Asian or Pacific Islander, 1.8% other, and 9.7% Multi-Ethnic) to investigate associations between youth depressive symptoms and mentoring relationship quality. Results revealed that: (1) mean depressive symptoms decreased after participation in a mentoring program; (2) several, but not all, relationship quality indicators predicted change in depressive symptoms; (3) baseline levels of depressive symptoms negatively predicted indicators of relationship quality; and (4) associations between several relationship quality indicators and follow-up depressive symptoms differed by baseline levels of depressive symptoms. These findings highlight the potential benefits of mentoring programs to youth and the need to provide mentors with support around building relationships with youth, especially those experiencing depressive symptoms.

青年的指导和抑郁症状:检查前瞻性和互动性与指导关系质量的关联

大量研究表明,指导关系支持积极的青年发展。指导关系的质量已被确定为积极青年成果的预测指标。然而,有限的研究调查了参与指导计划如何与青少年抑郁症状具体相关。当前的研究使用了 2003 年参加全国辅导计划的青年样本(M age = 12.32,SD = 1.42,55.1% 女性)来自不同的种族和民族背景(39.1% 黑人,23.6% 白人,22.1% 西班牙裔,3.3% 美洲原住民或阿拉斯加原住民,0.4% 亚裔或太平洋岛民,1.8% 其他,和 9.7% 多种族)调查青年抑郁症状与指导关系质量之间的关联。结果显示:(1) 参加辅导计划后平均抑郁症状有所减轻;(2) 几个但不是全部的关系质量指标预测抑郁症状的变化;(3) 抑郁症状的基线水平负向预测关系质量指标;(4) 几个关系质量指标与后续抑郁症状之间的关联因抑郁症状的基线水平而异。
