网络受欺负对儿童抑郁的影响:一个有调节的中介模型

目的:探讨网络受欺负对小学生抑郁的影响及其作用机制。方法:采用网络受欺负问卷、一般自我知觉量表、内隐人格观量表和抑郁量表对453名3-6年级的小学生进行问卷调查。结果:(1)网络受欺负与抑郁显著正相关;(2)在控制性别和年龄后,网络受欺负不仅直接预测儿童抑郁,还通过自尊的中介作用间接预测抑郁;(3)自尊的中介作用受到内隐人格观的调节,相对于人格增长观儿童,倾向于持人格实体观的儿童的自尊对抑郁情绪的预测作用更大。结论:自尊在网络受欺负与儿童抑郁的关系中起部分中介作用,且自尊的中介作用受到内隐人格观的调节。     

Social media use and the not-so-imaginary audience: Behavioral and neural mechanisms underlying the influence on self-concept

We investigated behavioral and neural mechanisms in the relation between social media use (SMU) and self-concept, as well as longitudinal developmental outcomes. Adolescents and young adults (N = 150, 11–21 years old at T1) rated themselves on 60 traits in the academic, physical and prosocial domain, and also indicated how they thought peers would judge them (reflected-peer-judgements). Longitudinal questionnaires (1- and 2-year follow-up) were collected to assess positive (prosocial behavior, self-concept clarity) and negative (clinical symptoms) long-term outcomes.Results indicated that heavier self-reported SMU was linked with lower difference scores between self-judgements and reflected-peer-judgements. Lower SMU was related to more positive ratings from self-judgements vs. reflected-peer-judgements. SMU was also associated with less positive self-concept, particularly in the academic domain (boys and girls) and physical domain (girls). Neurally, increased SMU was linked to heightened mPFC-activity during self-judgements compared to reflected-peer-judgements, and increased activity during physical compared to academic and prosocial self-judgements. Longitudinal analyses indicated no evidence for long-term effects of social media use, self/reflected-peer-difference scores and mPFC-activity on clinical symptoms, prosocial behavior or self-concept clarity. This study highlights the complex relationship between social media use and wellbeing and future research is needed to confirm the lack of long-term effects.

目的 探索药物联合心理剧治疗对女性抑郁症患者抑郁情绪、自尊、心理资本的影响，为女性抑郁症的临床治疗提供更多可能性。方法 纳入在重庆医科大学附属第一医院精神科就诊的、符合《国际疾病分类（第10版）》（ICD-10）诊断标准的女性抑郁症患者共50例，采用随机数字表法分为观察组和对照组各25例。在一线抗抑郁药物治疗的基础上，对观察组予以每两月一次、每次四天，共三次易术心理剧治疗，对照组接受一般健康教育。于干预前和干预6个月结束时采用贝克抑郁量表（BDI）、自尊量表（SES）及积极心理资本问卷（PPQ）对两组患者进行评定。结果 ①重复测量方差分析结果显示，抑郁情绪、自尊、心理资本及其各维度在时间测量与分组干预交互作用方面具有统计学意义（P均<0.05）。②简单效应分析结果显示，干预前，观察组及对照组在抑郁情绪、自尊、心理资本及其各维度评分差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）；干预6个月后，两组患者抑郁情绪、自尊、心理资本及其各维度评分差异均有统计学意义（P均<0.05）。结论 抗抑郁药物联合心理剧治疗可能有助于改善女性抑郁症患者抑郁情绪、自尊及心理资本，且其效果较抗抑郁药物联合一般健康教育更好。     

Enfermement carcéral,confinement socio-sanitaire et moyens d’évasion. Danser sa peine et au-delà…

Jail incarceration and social confinement due to a sanitary stay-at-home law against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic are compared to the introduction of dance workshops for imprisoned women charged with long sentences, then followed by an outside performance Soul Kitchen. The whole experience, organized by a famous contemporary choreographer Angelin Preljocaj, is filmed by Valérie Müller, producing Danser sa peine (To dance her sentence/her sorrow), nominated for an award. The sessions are planned: two hours and a half, 2 times a week, for four months, no technique required. A group of five women start with ordinary easy functional movements, gaining in innovative and expressive qualities, spatial perceptions, feelings and interpersonal interactions, lead by A. Preljocaj in a helpful and empathic mood. At the same time, he discovers the cooking authorization in their jail cell. The relevant results shift into a dynamic successful piece Soul Kitchen (2019) performed in town (Dance Festival in Montpellier, south of France) with dancing and cooking occurrences on stage. It makes sense, specially about self-esteem, body image and positive opinion from the audience. The women's physical and psychological states linked with a long lack of space and sensitivity… move to a better self-balance and feelings of well-being. In a similar state of mind, the French confined population – youth to elderly – try to find different and imaginative strategies at home as moving in a restrictive area, enjoying family cooking… through trainings provided by Internet, looking for reducing anxiety, depressive disorders and other social problems. A panel of situations goes from deleterious conflictual relationships, dramatic isolation, to funny and positive ones using creativeness to escape, facing the disruption of daily life.     

Implicit and explicit self-esteem and their reciprocal relationship with symptoms of depression and social anxiety: A longitudinal study in adolescents

Background and Objectives

A negative self-view is a prominent factor in most cognitive vulnerability models of depression and anxiety. Recently, there has been increased attention to differentiate between the implicit (automatic) and the explicit (reflective) processing of self-related evaluations. This longitudinal study aimed to test the association between implicit and explicit self-esteem and symptoms of adolescent depression and social anxiety disorder. Two complementary models were tested: the vulnerability model and the scarring effect model.

Method

Participants were 1641 first and second year pupils of secondary schools in the Netherlands. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, self-esteem Implicit Association Test and Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale were completed to measure explicit self-esteem, implicit self-esteem and symptoms of social anxiety disorder (SAD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), respectively, at baseline and two-year follow-up.

Results

Explicit self-esteem at baseline was associated with symptoms of MDD and SAD at follow-up. Symptomatology at baseline was not associated with explicit self-esteem at follow-up. Implicit self-esteem was not associated with symptoms of MDD or SAD in either direction.

Limitations

We relied on self-report measures of MDD and SAD symptomatology. Also, findings are based on a non-clinical sample.

Conclusions

Our findings support the vulnerability model, and not the scarring effect model. The implications of these findings suggest support of an explicit self-esteem intervention to prevent increases in MDD and SAD symptomatology in non-clinical adolescents.

Social Anxiety,Depression and Self-Esteem in Obese Adolescent Girls with Acanthosis Nigricans

Objective:

To assess the impact of acanthosis nigricans (AN) on depression symptoms, related quality of life and self-esteem scores in obese adolescent girls.

Methods:

Fifty-nine obese adolescent girls (mean age: 13.19±1.3 years, age range: 12-17 years, mean body mass index: 29.89±3.30) were enrolled in this study. The obese adolescent girls were divided into two groups based on presence or absence of AN. Non-obese healthy adolescents constituted the control group (30 girls, mean age: 13.5±1.4 years). All subjects were evaluated using the Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAI-C), and the modified Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES). Higher scores indicated more severe depression and anxiety, as well as low self-esteem status.

Results:

The AN and non-AN obese groups showed significantly higher CDI, STAI-C and SES scores than the control group, and the two obese groups demonstrated no significant differences for these scores. The AN obese group with higher total testosterone levels (>50 ng/dL) had higher scores for SES (2.55±1.8 vs. 1.42±1.2; p=0.03) than the AN obese group with low total testosterone levels. SES scores significantly correlated with total testosterone levels (r=0.362; p=0.03) and fasting insulin (r=0.462; p=0.03) in the AN obese group.

Conclusion:

Higher SES scores (low self-esteem status) were determined in obese adolescents with acanthosis and were related to hyperandrogenism. This study also showed that a high testosterone level may be one of the important indicators of low self-esteem status in obese girls with AN.     

Sequential Mediating Effect of Proactive Coping and Perceived Stress in the Relationships between Self-Esteem Stability and Life Satisfaction

While the effect of self-esteem stability on life satisfaction is widely verified, it is not very known how coping strategies explain this relationship. The present study focused on proactive coping, a preliminary step to minimize the impact of expected stressors, and a process of recognizing stressful events as challenges and actively managing them. Specifically, this study (N = 280) examined whether proactive coping and perceived stress mediated the relationship between self-esteem stability and life satisfaction in a sequential manner. The results indicate that proactive coping and perceived stress sequentially mediated the relationship between self-esteem stability and life satisfaction, respectively. This demonstrates that proactive coping and perceived stress are factors that link self-esteem and life satisfaction. However, there was no direct effect between self-esteem and life satisfaction. These findings suggest the need to consider combining proactive coping interventions to increase the effectiveness of a self-esteem stability promotion program. The practical implications and suggestions for future research are also discussed.
