“…Indeed, previous work showed that a history of depressive symptoms may have a cumulative effect on maladjustment (Wickrama & Wickrama, 2010), suggesting that the prospective associations between loneliness and depressive symptoms could be stronger for people with an enduring history of depression. Furthermore, certain depression theories propose interpersonal stress (related to loneliness) as underlying mechanisms in the continuity of depression (e.g., interpersonal stress generation; Rudolph, Flynn, Abaied, Groot, & Thompson, 2009).…”

loneliness and depressive symptoms are closely related constructs. however, mixed evidence exists on their prospective associations and only very few studies to date focused on intervening mechanisms. the present manuscript examined the direction of effects between loneliness and depressive symptoms in two longitudinal studies sampling college students (N = 514 and N = 437, respectively), using cross-lagged path analysis. Furthermore, the mediating and moderating role of active and passive coping strategies was examined. Results indicated that, although bi-directional effects tended to emerge, loneliness was a more consistent predictor of depressive symptoms across both studies than vice versa. Moreover, results indicated that this association was mediated, but not moderated, by coping strategies. loneliness was related to an increased use of passive coping strategies, which, in turn, was a risk factor for later depressive symptoms. implications of these findings and suggestions for future research are outlined.

“…For example, developmental trajectories of youth with depressive symptoms indicate more frequent high-risk behaviors (e.g., multiple sexual partners, criminal history, excessive substance use), poorer coping with stress, greater loneliness, lower education completion and high school dropout, and continued mental health problems in adulthood (Jonsson et al, 2011; Lee et al, 2009; Quiroga, Janosz, Bisset, & Morin, 2013; Wickrama & Wickrama, 2010; Yaroslavsky, Pettit, Lewinsohn, Seeley, & Roberts, 2013). Adolescents with higher levels of depressive symptoms tend to have lower Grade Point Averages (GPA), lower standardized academic test scores, have higher rates of absenteeism, and express lower levels of desire to attend college (Jones, 2009).…”

Mental health literacy appears to be an important target for prevention and intervention efforts. However, limitations exist in this literature base, including the lack of a validated measure to assess this construct. The Adolescent Depression Knowledge Questionnaire (ADKQ) was created to assess knowledge of depression and attitudes about seeking help (i.e., depression literacy) for mental health issues before and after introduction of a universal, school-based intervention, the Adolescent Depression Awareness Program (ADAP). The ADKQ measured depression knowledge and attitudes in 8,216 high school students immediately before ADAP was implemented and 6 weeks after. The latent structure of the Knowledge section was examined with attention to measurement invariance between males and females and type of instructor, as well as pre- to post-test. Categories were developed for the open-ended questions of the Attitudes section. A one-factor (General Knowledge) latent structure was the best fit to the data. The latent structure of the ADKQ did not differ by student’s gender or type of instructor, nor did it differ based on pre- or post-test. Categories for the Attitudes portion of the ADKQ were developed. Psychometric evidence supports the ADKQ as a measure to evaluate adolescent depression literacy pre- to post-test and within several groups of interest (e.g., gender, facilitator). Categories for the Attitudes section of the ADKQ will allow for easier evaluation of this measure with quantitative data.

“…Previous studies examining longitudinal taxonomies of depression symptoms in adolescence and early adulthood reported between four and six trajectory groups, depending on the range of the developmental period and the sample size (Costello, Swendsen, Rose, & Dierker, 2008;Olino, Klein, Lewinsohn, Rohde, & Seeley, 2010;Stoolmiller, Kim, & Capaldi, 2005;Wickrama & Wickrama, 2010). Overall, the results from these studies suggest that between 1.3% and 24.3% of individuals show persistently high or increasing depressive symptoms at some time between adolescence and young adulthood.…”
