Second, cognitive facts, which were somato-sensory amplification, somatic attribution and self-focused attention, had significant effects on somatization. Third, somato-sensory amplification partially mediated the relationships between female adolescent's depression and somatization. Fourth, somatic attribution parlially mediated the associiations between female adolescent's depression and somatization..
