Adolescent-Parent Communication Mediates the Association Between Depression and Coping Style in Early Adulthood

This study addresses that gap by examining the predictive relationship between adolescent anxious/depressive symptomology and coping styles in early adulthood. Further, we examine adolescent-parent communication as a potential mediator. Path analyses tested the relationships between adolescent internalizing symptoms in 10th/11th grade and subsequent coping style 7 years later.
