This study examined the impact of various school‐related factors on adolescents’ depressive mood, including prosocial behavior, verbal aggression, and relationships with teachers. The data used in this study were collected in the context of a larger survey on victimization in secondary schools from the French Community of Belgium. Participants were 2896 secondary school students (1520 males; 1376 females) aged 12–18 years. Results showed that for both genders, the three strongest predictors of depressive mood were age, feeling of exclusion, and verbal aggression. This study focusing on school‐related predictors of depressive mood confirmed the importance of the social context in school as a predictor of depression in both girls and boys.

This study explores the relative contribution of the overall quality of attachment to the mother, to the father and to peers (Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment scales), the style of attachment towards peers (Attachment Questionnaire for Children scale), the social rank variables (submissive behavior and social comparison), and sex and age variables in predicting the depression score (Center of Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale) on a non-psychiatric sample of 13-18 year old adolescents (n = 225). Results of our integrated model (adjusted R-Square of .50) show that attachment variables (overall quality of attachment to the father and to the mother), social rank variables (social comparison and submissive behavior), age and sex are important in predicting depressive symptoms during adolescence. Moreover, the attachment to peers variables (quality of attachment to peers, secure and ambivalent style of attachment) and sex are mediated by the social rank variables (social comparison and submissive behavior).

2 RésuméFace au constat d'impasse clinique que peut provoquer le discours du sujet psychotique, les auteurs suggèrent une méthodologie alternative axée sur le rapport du sujet à sa propre géographie et à sa faculté de « territorialisation ». À partir d'arguments issus de l'éthologie et de la phénoménologie, ils suggèrent une réflexion épistémologique de l'acte pour la pratique de la psychologie clinique avec les patients psychotiques. Ces actes que sont la ritournelle, l'ajustement social, la régulation affective ou encore l'intuition relationnelle sont autant de témoins attestant que la problématique centrale de la psychose est à situer dans le spectre large et complexe de la perte du sens commun et du corps commun. AbstractFaced with the observation of clinical stalemate that may cause psychotic subject's speech, the authors suggest an alternative methodology based on the report of the subject to its own geography and its faculty of "territorialisation". Based on arguments coming from ethology and Phenomenology, they suggest an epistemological reflection of the act for the practice of clinical psychology with psychotic patients. These acts consisting the refrain, the social adjustment, the emotional regulation or even the relational intuition are witnesses stating that the central problem of psychosis is within the broad spectrum and complex of the loss of common sense and common body.
