Using the cross-lagged panel model and longitudinal multilevel mediating effect model, the mediating effect of adolescent’s depressive symptoms on parental warmth and unsociability was investigated. The results showed that: 1) After controlling for gender, T1 maternal and paternal warmth negatively predicted T2 depressive symptoms, and T2 depressive symptoms positively predicted T3 unsociability. The mediating effect of T2 depressive symptoms was significant in the association between T1 maternal warmth and T3 unsociability. 2) Depressive symptoms mediated the association between maternal warmth and unsociability at both the within- and between-person levels. 3) At the between-person level, depressive symptoms mediated paternal warmth and unsociability, but at the within-person level, the mediating effect was non-significant.
