This study explores the dynamics of adolescent depression through the lens of network temperature, a novel concept in psychological symptom networks. Researchers observed a decrease in network temperature across adolescence, indicating increased stability and decreased variability of depressive symptoms as adolescents age and with distinct patterns between sexes. This work emphasizes the importance of understanding network dynamics over static measures, offering new insights into the stability and variability of depression symptoms.
