“…These stressors could increase the risk of depression, which is highly comorbid with sleep problems (Wallace et al, 2017). The results provide further evidence of the affective mechanism between stressors and sleep (Deng et al, 2021; Vandekerckhove et al, 2011).…”

In recent years, adolescent sleep problems have received increasing attention. Stressful life events have been found to be a risk factor for sleep problems, but little is known about the components that may explain or influence this association. To investigate this, the present study tested whether depressive symptoms mediated the association between stressful life events and Chinese freshmen' sleep problems, as well as whether emotional regulation skills moderated this process. A sample of 513 Chinese freshmen (32.2% males, mean age = 19.04 years, SD = 1.21) completed anonymous questionnaires regarding stressful life events, depressive symptoms, emotional regulation and sleep problems (examined using Adolescent Self‐Rating Life Events Checklist, Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale for Children, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Response to Stress Questionnaire). The study included covariates such as gender, age, and socioeconomic level. Depressive symptoms were shown to partially mediated the association between stressful life events and sleep problems in structural equation models. Emotional regulation moderated the relationship betweenn stressful life events and depressive symptoms. The results show that promoting emotional regulation could be beneficial in preventing and intervening sleep problems related to stressful life events.

In recent years, adolescent sleep problems have received increasing attention. Stressful life events have been found to be a risk factor for sleep problems, but little is known about the components that may explain or influence this association. To investigate this, present research tested whether depressive symptoms mediated the association between stressful life events and adolescents' sleep problems, as well as whether emotional regulation skills decreased this process. A sample of 513 Chinese university students (32.2% males, mean age = 19.04 years, SD = 1.21) completed anonymous questionnaires regarding stressful life events, depressive symptoms, emotional regulation and sleep problems (examined using Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Checklist, Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale for Children, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Response to Stress Questionnaire). The studies included covariates such as gender, age, and socioeconomic level. Depressive symptoms were shown to partially mediated the association between stressful life events and sleep problems in structural equation models. Emotional regulation buffered the negative effects of stressful life events on depressive symptoms. The results show that promoting emotional regulation could be beneficial in preventing and intervening sleep problems related to stressful life events.

“…Studies have shown that positive peer relationships can provide adolescents with information, as well as emotional and value support ( Xu and Zhang, 2011 ), all of which can enhance positive behavioral traits ( Schwartz et al, 2010 ) and protect adolescents from experiencing victimization and depression ( Abou-ezzeddine et al, 2007 ; Healy and Sanders, 2018 ). This can effectively moderate the relationship between adolescent life stresses and depression as well as against other negative affects ( Rubin et al, 1992 ; Deng et al, 2021 ). This can also moderate the relationship between adolescent empathy and depression ( Yan and Li, 2021 ) and the relationship between adolescent self-esteem and pathological Internet use ( Zhang et al, 2013 ).…”

In consideration of family system theory, the vulnerability model of depression, and the stress buffering model of social support, the current study examined the effect of family functioning on adolescent depression, the mediating effect of self-esteem, and the moderating effect of peer relationships. A sample of Chinese adolescents (n = 562, 47.15% male, 52.85% female, mean age 14.33 years, SD = 1.81 years) completed questionnaires regarding family functioning, depression, self-esteem, and peer relationships. The results showed that: (1) family functioning had a significant negative predictive effect on adolescent depression; (2) self-esteem plays a mediating role between family functioning and adolescent depression; and (3) peer relationships have a moderating effect on the relationship between self-esteem and adolescent depression, supporting the moderated mediation model. These results reveal the influence mechanism of family functioning on adolescent depression and have implications for adolescent depression intervention.
