Abstract

The current study investigated brooding and co-rumination as moderators of the relationship between interpersonal and noninterpersonal stress and depressive symptom trajectories. The sample consisted of 368 early adolescents ages 9 to 15 (M = 11.72, 63 % female) who completed self-report measures of brooding, co-rumination, stress, and depressive symptoms at baseline with follow-up assessments of stress and depressive symptoms at 3, 8, and 12 months post-baseline. Data were analyzed using multi-level modeling. Results showed that the association between interpersonal stress and depressive symptoms was stronger for adolescents high on brooding, compared to adolescents low on brooding. Sex moderated a co-rumination × stress interaction, with girls high on co-rumination and boys low on co-rumination reporting the highest levels of depressive symptoms when faced with interpersonal stress across the 1-year study period. These findings shed light on pathways to depressive symptoms in early adolescence and suggest that adolescent boys and girls may differ in these pathways.

Because of school vacations, the measurements were not spread perfectly equally throughout the 1-year follow-up period.

Following the suggestion of an anonymous reviewer, additional analyses were performed in which an age × sex interaction was included in the model as well. The slope, nor the intercept of the depressive symptom trajectories varied as a function of this interaction (intercept coefficient = 0.05, t = 0.11, p = 0.91; slope coefficient = 0.08, t = 0.76, p = 0.45).

We would like to thank the anonymous reviewer for this interesting suggestion.
