Beginning at about age 13 or 14, girls are at increased risk for depression. Previous research suggests that psychosocial factors associated with vulnerability to depression in adolescence include depressive coping strategies, gender role attributes, and self-discrepancy. In this study, self-report questionnaires and a structured interview were used to examine three alternative models that combined the aforementioned risk factors in a sample of 243 adolescent girls in the 7th through 12th grades. Study findings did not result in clear support for any one of the three models over the other two; however, the findings led to several general conclusions based on these models. First, although one coping factor had been expected to emerge, confirmatory factor analyses suggested that there were two distinct forms of coping being measured---depressive coping and active coping. Second, negative feminine and negative masculine attributes were positively associated with depression, and positive masculine attributes were associated with less depression. However, positive feminine attributes were not significantly associated with depression. Third, depressive coping mediated the associations between negative feminine attributes and depression and between positive masculine attributes and depression, while depressive coping only partially mediated the association between negative masculine attributes and depression. Fourth, active coping mediated the association between positive masculine attributes and depression, but did not mediate the association between negative masculine or negative feminine attributes and depression. Fifth, it had been predicted that the combination of positive feminine ideals, self-perceived failure to meet those ideals, and the use of depressive coping strategies would place girls at increased risk for depression. This prediction was not supported, but for girls at or below the mean on depressive coping, having fewer positive feminine ideals was associated with higher depression. Finally, in an alternative model, it was proposed that the combination of positive feminine ideals and meeting those ideals would place girls at increased risk for depression by increasing depressive coping and self-perceived failure to meet non-feminine ideal goals. However, the combination of positive feminine ideals and meeting those ideals was not associated with depression. In general, the findings highlight the importance of gender role attributes and depressive and active coping as risk factors for depression to be studied in future research.
