The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between depressed mood and depressive symptomatology and the influence of both variables on perceived social support, interpersonal conflict, general well-being, and perceived health status in 144 early adolescents. The subjects responded to instruments measuring the study variables in classroom settings. Two bivariate regression structural equation models were examined using the LISREL 7 computer software program. In the health model, depressed mood had a direct positive effect on depressive symptoms and a direct negative effect on well-being and on perceived health status. Depressive symptoms had a direct negative effect on well-being and on perceived health status. In the interpersonal model, depressed mood had a direct positive effect on depressive symptoms and on conflict and a direct negative effect on social support. Depressive symptoms had a direct positive effect on conflict and a direct negative effect on social support.
