Abstract: = 481), we examined if these risk factors mediated the relationship between parental and youth depression using structural equation modeling. Separate models revealed significant indirect effects for negative emotionality, cognitive biases, and depressive, anxiety and irritability symptoms. However, when these independent mediators were entered in a model that also included subthreshold depressive symptoms only depression had unique indirect effects. Our findings are contextualized based on our analytic approach and the highly intertwined and overlapping nature of the mediating risk factors assessed with depressive symptoms.
