Trajectory of Depressive Symptoms in the Context of Romantic Relationship Breakup: Characterizing the “Natural Course” of Response and Recovery in Young Adults. Acolin, J., Cadigan, J., M., Fleming, C., B., Rhew, I., C., & Lee, C., M. Emerging Adulthood, 11(5):1211-1222, 10, 2023. doi abstract bibtex \textbackslashtextlessp\textbackslashtextgreaterYoung adults face stressful role transitions as well as increased risk for poor mental health, but little is known about a “natural course” of response to such events. We used the PHQ-2 to characterize the trajectory of depressive symptoms before, during, and after relationship breakup and examined subjective appraisal and sense of control as moderators. In our sample of participants reporting a single breakup during the 2-year study period ( N = 156), breakup was associated with a temporary increase in depressive symptoms that returned to pre-breakup levels within 3 months. We observed increased symptoms among negatively appraised, but not positive or neutral, events. A general low sense of control was associated with higher depressive symptoms at all time points. Our results suggest that a natural course of response to young adult breakups is characterized by recovery within 3 months and that subjective appraisal and sense of control contribute to this adaptive response.\textbackslashtextless/p\textbackslashtextgreater
