Abstract：
Certain personality traits and facets are well-known risk factors that predict first-onset depression during adolescence. However, prior research predominantly relied on self-reported data, which has limitations as a source of personality information. Reports from close informants have the potential to increase the predictive power of personality on first-onsets of depression in adolescents. With easy access to adolescents\' behaviors across settings and time, parents may provide important additional information about their children\'s personality. The same personality trait(s) and facet(s) rated by selves (mean age 14.4 years old) and biological parents at baseline were used to prospectively predict depression onsets among 442 adolescent girls during a 72-month follow-up. First, bivariate logistic regression was used to examine whether parent-reported personality measures predicted adolescent girls\' depression onsets; then multivariate logistic regression was used to test whether parent reports provided additional predictive power above and beyond self-reports of same trait or facet. Parent-reported personality traits and facets predicted adolescents\' depression onsets, similar to findings using self-reported data. After controlling for the corresponding self-report measures, parent-reported higher openness (at the trait level) and higher depressivity (at the facet-level) incrementally predicted first-onset of depression in the sample. Findings demonstrated additional variance contributed by parent-reported personality measures and validated a multi-informant approach in using personality to prospectively predict onsets of depression in adolescent girls.
摘要：
某些人格特质和方面是众所周知的风险因素，可预测青春期首次发作的抑郁症。然而,之前的研究主要依赖于自我报告的数据，作为人格信息的来源有其局限性。来自密切线人的报告有可能增加人格对青少年抑郁症首发的预测能力。通过跨设置和时间轻松访问青少年的行为，父母可能会提供重要的额外信息，关于他们的孩子的性格。在72个月的随访中，使用基线时自我（平均年龄14.4岁）和亲生父母评估的相同人格特质和方面来前瞻性预测442名青春期女孩的抑郁症发作。首先,使用双变量逻辑回归检查父母报告的人格测量是否预测了青春期女孩抑郁发作;然后使用多变量逻辑回归检验父母报告是否提供了超出相同特征或方面的自我报告的额外预测能力。父母报告的人格特质和方面预测青少年抑郁发作，与使用自我报告数据的结果相似。在控制了相应的自我报告措施后，父母报告的较高开放性（在性状水平）和较高抑郁性（在方面水平）逐渐预测了样本中抑郁症的首次发作。研究结果表明，父母报告的人格指标造成了额外的差异，并验证了使用人格前瞻性预测青春期女孩抑郁发作的多信息方法。
