Relational stressors and depressive symptoms in late adolescence: Rejection sensitivity as a vulnerability
Open accessAbstract
The role of rejection sensitivity as a critical diathesis moderating the link between adolescent relational stressors and depressive symptoms was examined using multi-method, multi-reporter data from a diverse community sample of 173 adolescents, followed from age 16 to 18. Relational stressors examined included emotional abuse, maternal behavior undermining adolescents’ autonomy and relatedness, and lack of support from close peers. As hypothesized, multiple relational stressors were found to predict the future development of depressive symptoms, but as hypothesized predictions existed primarily for adolescents who were highly rejection sensitive. Results are discussed in terms of a diathesis-stress model of depression and suggest that though relational stressors have previously shown consistent modest links to depressive symptoms, understanding pre-existing intrapsychic vulnerabilities of the adolescent may be critical to identifying the processes by which such stressors lead to depressive symptoms.

Extensive research has shown that rejection sensitivity is associated with a range of mental health problems.
“Extensive research has shown that rejection sensitivity is associated with a range of mental health problems (e.g., Chango, McElhaney, Allen, Schad, & Marston, 2012;Chesin, Fertuck, Goodman, Lichenstein, & Stanley, 2015;Rowe, Gembeck, Rudolph, & Nesdale, 2015;Webb et al., 2015).”
From Associations between rejection sensitivity and mental health outcomes: A meta-analytic review (2017) · cites this paper as Chango et al., 2012
The Discussion (page unavailable in our copy) reports that rejection sensitivity, combined with relational stressors, predicted increases in depressive symptoms among adolescents. The paper also discusses prior research on internalizing disorders, but its own findings concern depressive symptoms, not a range of mental health problems. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
