Purpose.
Depression prevalence and risk increase among adolescents are related to biological, psychosocial, and cultural factors.
Little is known about the association between cognitive distortion, type D personality, family environment, and depression.
The aim of this paper was to examine the relationships of cognitive distortion, type D personality, family environment, and depression in a sample of Chinese adolescents.
Methods.
A sample of Chinese adolescents with depression and the controls were investigated cross-sectionally with life orientation test-revised (LOT-R), type D personality Scale-14 (DS14), family environment scale (FES), and Zung self-depression scale (SDS); respectively, all scales were administered in Chinese.
Results.
Chinese-depressed adolescents showed more cognitive distortion, type D personality, and adverse family environment than control groups.
Furthermore, lower level of Optimism, negative affectivity, and poor family cohesion may increase the risk of depression in Chinese adolescents.
Conclusions.
Our study indicates that lower level of Optimism, Negative Affectivity, and poor Family Cohesion factors were implicated to contribute to depression in Chinese adolescents.
Lower level of optimism and negative affectivity may be crucial associated factors of depression among these samples.
our findings pointed to the importance of broad screening and intervention of vulnerable population.
