3 Transactional processes between support and depressive symptoms 83 adolescents scoring low on neuroticism. The moderating effects on the reverse lagged effect (i.e., from adolescent depressive symptoms to parental support) were explored without a priori hypotheses at all timescales. METHOD To study the transactional processes within families at different timescales, we analyzed five datasets with varying measurement intervals. The datasets are composed of four different samples (i.e., Dataset 1 and Dataset 3 are the same sample). For an overview of the demographic characteristics of the samples, see Table 1.
