Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals self-compassion and resilience mediate reduced depressive symptoms in adolescents, indicating key targets for family-focused mental health interventions.

Key Points

  • To investigate whether self-compassion and psychological resilience sequentially mediate the relationship between parent-adolescent cohesion and depressive symptoms.
  • Surveyed 389 adolescents (mean age = 14.41 years, SD = 1.68; 53% male) in China between May and June 2022.
  • Administered self-report questionnaires evaluating parent-adolescent cohesion, self-compassion, psychological resilience, and depressive symptoms using a serial mediation framework.
  • Parent-adolescent cohesion demonstrated a direct, negative association with adolescent depressive symptoms.
  • Self-compassion and psychological resilience mediated the association individually and serially, with self-compassion alone accounting for 37.89% of the total effect.
  • The indirect pathway through resilience alone accounted for 6.50% of the total effect, while the sequential pathway through both self-compassion and resilience accounted for 6.86%.
