The results of the regression analysis indicated that grade at the first step accounted for
0.9% of the variance in adolescents' dimensions of depressive symptomatology, F(1, 176) =-
1.676, p = .197 (nonsignificant). In the second step, the model now with two predictor variables,
grade and Social Perspective Coordination, accounted for 4.9% of the variance in adolescents'
dimensions of depressive symptomatology, F(2, 175) = 4.538,p = .012. The unique contribution
of Social Perspective Coordination was 4.0% and was statistically significant (AR 2 = .040, p =
.007). In the third step, the model now with six predictor variables, accounted for 47.6% of the
variance in girls' dimensions of depressive symptomatology, F(6, 171) = 25.913, p = .000. The
unique contribution of the four emotion variables, Poor Emotion Awareness, Expressive
