  • Title: The role of social stressors and interpersonal orientation in explaining the longitudinal relation between externalizing and depressive symptoms.
    Author: Little SA, Garber J.
    Journal: J Abnorm Psychol; 2005 Aug; 114(3):432-43. PubMed ID: 16117580.
    Abstract:
    The authors examined the longitudinal association between externalizing and depressive symptoms using a sample of 185 young adolescents whose mothers had histories of depression. The relation between externalizing behaviors in 6th grade and depressive symptoms a year later was partially mediated by dependent social stressors. Moreover, consistent with the personality-event congruence hypothesis, this mediation model was particularly true for children with high levels of interpersonal orientation (Neediness and Connectedness). In contrast, social stressors that were judged to be independent of the children's behavior, as well as both dependent and independent nonsocial stressors, did not mediate the longitudinal relation between externalizing and depressive symptoms.
