Abstract

Objective To explore the chain mediating effect of psychological resilience and emotional balance in the association between daily stress and adolescent depression, in order to provide a theoretical basis for improving adolescent depression and other emotional problems. Methods The Adolescent Stressful Life Events Scale, the Positive and Negative Affect Scale for Children (PANAS-C), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) were used to investigate 1 153 middle school students from a middle school in Heilongjiang Province in September 2022 by a cluater sampling method. The characteristics of depressive symptoms were first analyzed by chi-square test and binary Logistic regression model, and then structural equation modeling was used to test the chain mediating role of psychological resilience and positive/negative emotions in the association between daily stress and adolescent depression. Results Among 1 153 junior high school students, 474 (41.1%) had depressive symptoms, and the detection rates of depreesion were significantly different among students with different gender, grade and left-behind experience (χ2=6.12, 9.71, 13.89, P<0.05). Higher scores of daily stress and negative emotions were risk factors for adolescent depression in the post-epidemic era (OR = 1.03, 95%CI: 1.02 - 1.04; OR = 1.12, 95%CI: 1.10 - 1.14), while positive emotions were protective factors for adolescent depression (OR = 0.94, 95%CI:0.92 - 0.96). Independent mediating effects of psychological resilience, positive and negative emotions in the association between daily stress and adolescent depressive symptoms levels were significant, and the mediating effects were 4.09%, 5.22% and 39.90%, respectively, as were the chain mediating effects (mediating effects were 3.88%, 4.13%). Conclusion Daily stress predicts adolescent depression directly and also indirectly through the chain mediating effects of psychological resilience and emotional balance.
