AbstractThis study was designed to investigate depression as function of geographical status and gender. The sample of the study was composed of 200 respondents. They were collected using stratified random sampling method. A Depressive Experiences Questionnaire as instrument was used for data collection. The Bengali version of this Questionnaire contained 23 items. It was a 7-point scale ranging from complete agreement to complete disagreement. The Depression Score (DS) was obtained and it was 92. A subject falling on 92 or above was regarded to have depressive symptoms. The study used a factorial design. Thus a 2 × 2 factorial design was used involving two levels of geographical status (mobile status/non-mobile status) and two levels of gender (adolescent boy/ adolescent girl). The results showed that the main effect of gender was statistically significant. Again, two-way interaction effect involving gender and geographical status was statistically significant. Thus the results supported all the hypotheses that non-mobility group reported more depressive symptoms than mobility group again the adolescent girls expressed more depressive symptoms than adolescent boys.
