29-6 The Impact of Self-Esteem, Factors in Family and School Contexts on Trajectories of Adolescent Depressive Symptom
Derived from a panel study on Taiwanese adolescents, this study intended to break through the limitations of cross-sectional studies and attempted to model the adolescents' initial status and the developments of their depressive symptoms with the latent growth curve model. The adolescents' self-esteem and several family and school contextual latent constructs (e.g., satisfaction with the parent-child relationship, school attachment, and relationships with teachers and friends) are factors affecting the developments of adolescents' well-beings.
The participants consisted of 924 junior high school students who had completed repeated measurements over time. The results showed that self-esteem was the most crucial factor on the developments of adolescents' depressive symptoms. While an adolescent's satisfaction with parent-child relationship had little impact on an adolescent's initial status of depressive symptoms, the relationships with teachers and friends significantly influenced the changing path of an adolescent's depressive symptoms. The findings suggest that the impact of family and school contextual factors on the development of an adolescent's depressive symptoms varies over time.
