Although a number of studies have reported that children of depressed, compared to nondepressed, parents exhibit biased attention to sad facial stimuli, the direction of this bias remains unclear; some studies find evidence of preferential attention towards sad faces whereas others find evidence of attention avoidance. In the current study, we used event-related potentials (ERPs) to assess children’s attention to emotional stimuli using a spatial cueing task. We found that children of depressed mothers generally exhibited less attention to sad facial stimuli than children of nondepressed mothers. Across all indices of attention bias (N2pc and SPCN time locked to face onset, P3b time locked to probe onset, reaction times to probes), children of mothers with a history of major depressive disorder (MDD) during the child’s life exhibited less attention to sad faces than children of never depressed mothers. For two of these indices (SPCN and reaction times), the attention biases for the offspring of depressed mothers was not specific to sadness and was observed for all emotional expressions. Group differences in the ERP indices was maintained when controlling for the influence of mothers’ and children’s current symptoms of depression and anxiety, mothers’ history of anxiety disorders, and children’s history of MDD and anxiety disorders, suggesting that the results are specific to mothers’ history of MDD. Although there is growing evidence that children of depressed mothers exhibit attentional biases for sad faces, the direction of this bias is unclear. The current study examined ERP indices of biased attention within the context of a spatial cueing task and showed that children of depressed, compared to never depressed, mothers exhibit attentional avoidance of sad faces.
