Abstract
Family support, depressogenic inferential style and rumination were longitudinally analysed in a sample of female adolescents wherein depression is more prevalent compared to adolescente male population. The sample comprised a group of 142 first grade secondary school students, with an average age of 14.2 years. The assessment was undertaken 6, 13 and 24 months after the first evaluation. Controled the initial depression, results indicated a relationship between depressive symptomatology with family support and depressogenic inferential style. These results support the cognitive theories of depression and indicate the importance of considering these factors in depression preventive programs.
