Participants who did not answer any questionnaire were excluded from the analysis. The final sample size was 339. Female adolescents scored higher on depression and male adolescents scored higher on self-esteem. This study showed that self-esteem and irrational beliefs had a mediating effect between parent-adolescent communication and depression, although parent-adolescent communication didn't have an direct effect on depression.
