This multi-sample study tested bidirectional within-family associations between parental sup-port and adolescents’ depressive symptoms on varying measurement intervals: Daily (N = 244, Mage = 13.8, 38% male), two-weekly (N=256, Mage=14.5, 29% male), three-monthly (N=245, Mage=13.9, 38% males), annual (N=1,664, Mage=11.1, 51% male), and biennial (N=502, Mage=13.8, 48% male). Pre-registered random-intercept cross-lagged panel models (RI-CLPM) showed negative between- and within-family correlations. Although no within-family lagged effects were found from parental support to depressive symptoms at any time interval, de-pressive symptoms predicted decreased parental support two weeks and three months later. Effects were moderated by adolescents’ sex and neuroticism. Findings mainly supported ado-lescent-driven effects, and illustrate that within-family lagged effects may not generalize across timescales.

We investigate whether the amplification of positive affect during conflict discussions or “up regulation” between adolescent romantic partners functions to prevent or terminate interpersonal conflict. Unfortunately, this up regulation strategy may also result in unresolved relationship problems, and ultimately increase adolescent depressive symptoms. The concept of coercion is reviewed as it applies to conflict resolution and avoidance in a sample of 80 adolescent romantic relationships. Results from multilevel hazard models showed that longer durations of observed upregulation states predicted increases in depressive symptoms in both males and females over the course of 2 years. In addition, female depression predicted slower exits from coercive states, which in turn predicted higher levels of males’ depressive symptoms. Implications of these findings are discussed, as well as the possibility that positive affect can be negatively reinforced when it functions to avoid conflict in recently formed close relationships.

AbstractMany efforts have been devoted to investigating the effect of the interaction between the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTLPR) and environment (G × E) on depression, but they yield mixed results. The inconsistency has suggested that G × E effects may be more complex than originally conceptualized, and further study is warranted. This study explored the association among 5-HTTLPR, peer victimization and depressive symptoms and the underlying mediating role of inhibitory control in this association. A total of 871 Chinese Han adolescents (Mage = 15.32 years, 50.3% girls) participated and provided saliva samples from which the 5-HTTLPR was genotyped. This study found that 5-HTTLPR interacted with peer victimization in predicting depressive symptoms. Adolescents carrying L allele reported more depressive symptoms than SS carriers when exposed to higher level of peer victimization. Furthermore, adolescents’ inhibitory control deficits mediated the association between 5-HTTLPR × peer victimization and depressive symptoms. These findings suggested that one pathway in which G × E may confer vulnerability to depressive symptoms is through disruptions to adolescents’ inhibitory control system.
