The Long-term Effects of Self-Esteem on Depression: The Roles of Alcohol and Substance Use During Young Adulthood The Sociology Quarterly 58,3 (2017): 429-446. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00380253.2017.1331718 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Depression (see also CESD); Gender Differences; Self-Esteem; Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth 1979, this study examines the roles of alcohol and substance use as mediators in the mechanism between self-esteem and depression, and investigates whether the mechanism works for both men and women. Results demonstrate that alcohol and substance use during young adulthood mediates the effect of self-esteem on depression among men. Furthermore, self-esteem during young adulthood remains a determinant of high depression in middle adulthood. However, we did not find evidence to support that same mechanism among women. Our findings provide insight into how self-esteem affects depression over the transition from young to middle adulthood, and elucidate potential gendered responsivity to low self-esteem. |
