Abstract

The current study examined the concurrent and longitudinal protective effects of peer popularity and self-discipline (control, planning, and the ability to prioritize important things) against depressive symptoms among adolescents. We used multilevel modeling to examine the data of 1676 adolescents aged 12-15 years from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) survey, a large-scale panel survey with a nationally representative sample. Results showed that both peer popularity and self-discipline predicted lower levels of depressive symptoms measured concurrently. The buffering effect of self-discipline against concurrent depressive symptoms was stronger for girls than for boys, especially in middle adolescence. Peer popularity additionally predicted lower levels of depressive symptoms 4 years later, and this effect was stronger for girls than for boys. These patterns of results were maintained after controlling for self-rated physical health and society-level factors. We discuss these findings against the background of distinct traditional gender roles.

同龄人的受欢迎程度和自律性是中国青少年抑郁症状的保护因素:男孩和女孩是否同样受益?
本研究探讨了同伴受欢迎程度和自律性(控制力、计划性和优先考虑重要事情的能力)对青少年抑郁症状的并发和纵向保护作用。我们采用多层次模型研究了中国家庭抽样调查(CFPS)中1676名12-15岁青少年的数据。结果表明,同伴受欢迎程度和自律程度都能预测同时测量的较低抑郁症状水平。女孩自律对同时出现的抑郁症状的缓冲作用比男孩更强,尤其是在青春期中期。此外,同伴的受欢迎程度也预示着 4 年后抑郁症状水平的降低,而且女孩的这种效应比男孩更强。在控制了自我评价的身体健康和社会层面的因素后,这些结果的模式仍然保持不变。我们以独特的传统性别角色为背景来讨论这些发现。
