Résumé
L’objectif de cette étude longitudinale est de mieux comprendre ce qui conduit les filles à devenir plus souvent dépressives que les garçons durant le passage vers l’école secondaire. Quatre cent quatre vingt dix-neuf adolescents suivis de la sixième année du primaire à la première année du secondaire ont complété des mesures de statut pubertaire, d’image corporelle, d’attitudes dysfonctionnelles et de symptômes dépressifs. Les résultats révèlent que la puberté et l’image corporelle sont des médiateurs quoique faibles, de la relation entre le sexe et les symptômes dépressifs. Les attitudes dysfonctionnelles ne sont pas un médiateur de la relation entre la puberté vécue dans le cadre du passage au secondaire et la dépression. Les résultats soulignent l’importance de mieux comprendre l’impact du passage primaire-secondaire sur les symptômes dépressifs des adolescents.
Abstract
The objective of this longitudinal study was to examine the emergence of differences in girls and boys in depressive symptoms during the transition from elementary to secondary school. Four hundred and ninety nine adolescents followed through the last grade of primary school and the first year of secondary school completed measures of pubertal status, body image, dysfunctional attitudes and depressive symptoms. Results show that puberty and body image slightly mediated the relationship between sex and depressive symptoms and that dysfunctional attitudes did not mediate the relationship between puberty lived during transition to secondary school and depression. Results also demonstrate the importance of better understanding the impact of transition to secondary school on adolescents’ depressive symptoms.
Resumen
El objetivo de este estudio longitudinal es comprender mejor lo que conduce a las niñas a deprimirse más frecuentemente que los niños durante el paso a la secundaria. Cuatrocientos noventa y nueve adolescentes, seguidos de sexto de primaria a primero de secundaria, completaron las medidas de estatus de pubertad, de imagen corporal, de actitudes disfuncionales y de síntomas depresivos. Los resultados revelan que la pubertad y la imagen corporal, aunque débiles, son mediadores de la relación entre el género y los síntomas depresivos. Las actitudes disfuncionales no son un mediador de la relación entre la pubertad, vivida en el marco del paso a secundaria, y la depresión. Los resultados subrayan la importancia de comprender mejor el impacto del paso de primaria a secundaria en los síntomas depresivos de los adolescentes.
Resumo
O objetivo deste estudo longitudinal é melhor compreender o que leva as meninas a se tornarem mais frequentemente depressivas que os meninos durante a passagem para a escola secundária. Os participantes, 499 adolescentes, acompanhados do último ano do primário para o primeiro ano do secundário (N.d.T. - correspondendo à passagem do sexto ano do ensino fundamental ao sétimo), completaram medidas de estatuto de puberdade, de imagem corporal, de atitudes disfuncionais e de sintomas depressivos. Os resultados revelam que a puberdade e a imagem corporal são manifestações, embora fracas, da relação entre o sexo e os sintomas depressivos. As atitudes disfuncionais não são manifestações da relação entre a puberdade vivenciada durante a passagem ao secundário e a depressão. Os resultados ressaltam a importância de melhor compreender o impacto da passagem do primário ao secundário nos sintomas depressivos dos adolescentes.
