The results of the regression analysis indicated that grade at the first step accounted for
1.0% of the variance in adolescents' dimensions of depressive symptomatology, F(1, 140) =
1.430, p = .234 (nonsignificant). In the second step, the model now with two predictor variables,
grade and Social Perspective Coordination, accounted for 2.6% of the variance in adolescents'
dimensions of depressive symptomatology, F(2, 139) = 1.889, p = .155 (nonsignificant). The
unique contribution of Social Perspective Coordination was 1.6% and was statistically
nonsignificant (AR2 = .016, p = .129). In the third step, the model now with six predictor
variables, accounted for 41.8% of the variance in boys' dimensions of depressive
symptomatology, F(6, 135) = 16.128,p = .000. The unique contribution of the four emotion
variables, Poor Emotion Awareness, Expressive Reluctance of Emotion, Anger Regulation
Inhibition, and Sadness Regulation Coping, was statistically significant, AR 2 = .391, p = .000.
