Exploring the Relations Between Parent Depressive Symptoms, Family Religious Involvement, and Adolescent Depressive Symptoms: A Test of Moderation

Abstract: Building on previous research, the current study examined the relations between parent depressive symptoms, family religious involvement, and adolescent depressive symptoms in a convenience sample of 74 parent-adolescent dyads of southern U.S. families. We used hierarchical regression analysis to explore whether family religious involvement moderated the relations between parent depressive symptoms and adolescent depressive symptoms. Results indicated that family religious involvement did not have a significan… Show more

“…First, variables that have demonstrated consistent associations with alcohol use and that were not directly assessed in the current study include parental alcohol use (Fischer et al, ), expectancies about substance use (Galen & Rogers, ), and alcohol use motives (Molnar et al, ). Second, future research could operationalize religiousness with indicators such as frequency or type of prayer, or perhaps move beyond individual‐level indicators and assess family religious involvement (Hooper & Newman, ). Additionally, measures of religious motivation and salience could further clarify the association between parentification and alcohol use, particularly given previous findings of their negative associations with alcohol use (Chwala, Neighbors, Lewis, & Lee, ; Galen & Rogers, ).…”

“…Trust is vital among youth in establishing connections, primarily with socializing agents in their environment. The isolation factor in attachment with peers is also an essential aspect and this is because the maturing process happens simultaneously with changes in emotion, temperament and decision making (Hooper & Newman, 2011).…”

“…The current study was limited to a few select parent and family system factors, and countless other factors and systems (for example, family, school and neighbourhood) could be considered. Additionally, it would be beneficial – consistent with a family systems perspective – to consider the bidirectional and reciprocal effects of obesity and depressive symptoms (Hooper and Newman, ; Hooper et al ., ; Hughes and Gullone, ; Kitzmann et al ., ). With regard to depressive symptoms, it could be that parents' depressive symptoms are exacerbated by or follow their adolescents' depressive symptoms, rather than the converse.…”

“…Prager (2009, p. 200) suggests that the most potent risk factor for depression in children and adolescents is parental depression. Empirical evidence on the relation between adolescent depression and depressive symptoms and parental depression has accumulated over the years (see Downey and Coyne, 1990;Fendrich et al, 1990;Goodman and Gotlib, 1999;Hooper et al, 2010;Hooper and Newman, 2011;Kane and Garber, 2004). Field et al (2001) investigated the risk factors associated with adolescent depression.…”
