Stressful life events and depressive problems in early adolescent boys and girls: The influence of parental depression, temperament and family environment
Journal of affective disorders, 2008•Elsevier
Background Stressful life events increase the probability of depressive problems in early
adolescence. Several genetic and environmental risk factors may change individual
sensitivity to the depressogenic effect of these events. We examined modification by
parental depression and gender, and mediation of the former by temperament and family
environment. Methods Data were collected as part of a longitudinal cohort study of (pre)

Abstract
Background
Stressful life events increase the probability of depressive problems in early adolescence. Several genetic and environmental risk factors may change individual sensitivity to the depressogenic effect of these events. We examined modification by parental depression and gender, and mediation of the former by temperament and family environment.
Methods
Data were collected as part of a longitudinal cohort study of (pre) adolescents (n= 2127). During the first assessment wave at approximately age 11, we assessed parental depression, family functioning, perceived parenting behaviours, and temperamental frustration and fearfulness. At the second wave, about two and a half years later, stressful life events between the first and second assessment were assessed. Depressive problems were measured at both waves.
Results
Adolescents with parents who had a (lifetime) depressive episode were more sensitive to the depressogenic effect of stressful events than adolescents without depressed parents. Furthermore, girls are more sensitive to these effects than boys. The modifying effect of parental depression was not mediated by temperament, family functioning and perceived parenting.
