Core Tip	Depression is a prevalent psychological issue in adolescents that is significantly related to negative life events (NLEs) and dysfunctional attitudes. Enhancing social support can significantly buffer NLEs’ effect on depression. In this study, 795 adolescents were surveyed to examine the mediating role of specific dysfunctional attitudes. It also examined how social support moderated the relationship between NLEs and depression. This study helps develop a theoretical framework for psychological interventions for adolescents with depression. Autonomy and perfectionism are two components of dysfunctional attitudes found to play a role in depression. Social support can protect against depressive symptoms.
