Note. Linguistic dimensions are presented as a mean percentage of total words used by an adolescent. RCADS = Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale. P values significant at the .05 are in bold.
a
None = RCADS t-score ≤ 64; Possible = RCADS t-score 65-69; Probable = RCADS t-score ≥ 70).
b
Kruskal-Wallis test (alpha level of .05).
c
S-R model = Self-regulatory model; C model = Cognitive model of depression.
