抑郁症状和攻击性经常同时发生,这种共存可能会导致更严重的发育问题。然而,目前尚不清楚是否有不同的共现模式。这项研究调查了抑郁症状和攻击性的共同发生模式,并研究了它们的稳定性和人口特征。共有1010名中国青少年(50.6%为女孩;T1的平均年龄=12.54岁,SD=0.42)参加了三年(2019-2021年)的年度调查。除正常组外,还发现了三种不同的共现模式:抑郁-显性共现(13.6%),侵略主导的共现(3.2%),中度共现(6.0%)(T1)。在这些共现模式中,被归类为侵略占主导地位的青少年表现出最不稳定和最频繁的变化,而被归类为抑郁症为主的青少年表现出最大的稳定性。男孩或年轻的青少年更有可能表现出攻击性主导的共现,而女孩或年龄较大的青少年更有可能表现出抑郁症主导的并发性。研究结果表明,观察到的共同发生模式是不同的,并且以侵略或抑郁为主导,这意味着需要有针对性的干预措施。
Depressive symptoms and aggression frequently occur together, and this co-occurrence may result in more severe developmental problems. However, it is unclear if there are distinct patterns of co-occurrence. This study investigated the co-occurrence patterns of depressive symptoms and aggression, and examined their stability and demographic characteristics. A total of 1010 Chinese adolescents (50.6% girls; mean age at T1 = 12.54 years, SD = 0.42) participated in annual surveys over three years (2019-2021). Three different patterns of co-occurrence were found except for the normal group: depression-dominant co-occurrence (13.6%), aggression-dominant co-occurrence (3.2%), and moderate co-occurrence (6.0%) (T1). In these co-occurrence patterns, adolescents classified as aggression-dominant co-occurrence exhibited the most instability and frequent changes, while adolescents classified as depression-dominant co-occurrence exhibited the most stability. Boys or younger adolescents were more likely to exhibit the aggression-dominant co-occurrence, while girls or older adolescents were more likely to exhibit the depression-dominant co-occurrence. The findings indicate that the co-occurrence patterns observed are distinct and are dominated by aggression or depression, which implies the need for targeted intervention practices.
