English abstract:
      Background Compared with male adolescents, depression among female adolescents is of higher prevalence and greater severity. The level of generalized trust correlates with the severity of depression, and attachment correlates with the level of generalized trust. Therefore, based on the mediating role of generalized trust between attachment and depression, this study explores the pathogenesis of depression in female adolescents.Objective To explore the mediating role of generalized trust between paternal, maternal and peer attachment and depression in female adolescents, so as to provide references for improving the depression of female adolescents.Methods This study included 73 female adolescents who met the diagnostic criteria for depressive disorder in the International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition(ICD-10) as well as received outpatient and inpatient treatment in Hangzhou Seventh People's Hospital between March 2022 and October 2022. Investigation was conducted by use of Revised Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA-R), the Inclusive General Trust Scale (IGTS) and Children's Depression Inventory (CDI). Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between each scale score. The Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating role of generalized trust between attachment and depression.Results ① CDI score in female adolescents with depression was negatively correlated with scores of paternal, maternal and peer attachment in IPPA-R (r=-0.463, -0.459, -0.447, P<0.01). Scores of paternal, maternal and peer attachment in IPPA-R were positively correlated with IGTS score (r=0.372, 0.318, 0.395, P<0.01). IGTS score was negatively correlated with CDI score (r=-0.531, P<0.01 ). ②The test of mediating role showed that the direct effect of paternal, maternal and peer attachment on depression level was significant in female adolescents with depression (effect size=-0.138, -0.136, -0.107, 95% CI: -0.236~-0.039, -0.242~-0.029, -0.203~-0.012). ③The mediating role of generalized trust between paternal, maternal peer attachment and depression level was significant (effect size=-0.069, -0.066, -0.071, 95% CI: -0.127~-0.021, -0.137~-0.010, -0.145~-0.018).Conclusion Paternal, maternal and peer attachment can influence the depression level of female adolescents both directly and indirectly through the generalized trust.
