AI Article Synopsis
- * A total of 413 depressed adolescents participated and completed relevant questionnaires, revealing that both childhood trauma (strong association) and social peer rejection (moderate association) are significant factors contributing to depressive symptoms.
- * The findings indicated that social peer rejection partially mediates the impact of childhood trauma on depressive symptoms, meaning that experiences of peer rejection can amplify the effects of childhood trauma on depression.
Article Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the associations of childhood trauma and its facets with depressive symptoms in depressed adolescents during the post COVID-19 epidemic, and explore the potential mediating role of social peer rejection in these associations. A total of 413 adolescents with depressive disorders completed the Chinese version of the Child Trauma Questionnaire Short Form, the Social Peer Rejection, and the Children's Depression Inventory. Childhood trauma ( = 0.42, < 0.01) and social peer rejection ( = 0.18, < 0.01) were positively related to depressive symptoms, after adjustment for demographic factors. Furthermore, social peer rejection partly mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and depressive symptoms, and the mediation effect ratio was 17.0% ( < 0.001). This study found that childhood trauma and social peer rejection are both risk factors for depressive symptoms, and social peer rejection played a mediating role in the relationship between childhood trauma and depressive symptoms.
