本研究使用了两次从有5至12岁儿童的家庭（N = 1151）的概率样本中收集的信息，这些家庭参加了1983年的一般人群研究和1987年的随访。通过比较母亲抑郁与儿童行为之间以及母亲抑郁与母亲报告错误之间的相对强度，该研究评估了母亲偏见在评估儿童行为中的重要性。行为问题和多动症是由母亲、老师和青少年（12至16岁）评分构成的潜在标准变量，它们与母亲抑郁症的关联使用协方差结构分析建模。分析显示，母亲抑郁与5- 7岁儿童的行为问题（phi = 0.35）和多动（phi = 0.38）在1983年显著相关，而4年后的1987年则没有。母亲抑郁和母亲报告错误之间没有显著的关联。在8到12岁的孩子中。1983年，母亲抑郁不仅与行为问题（phi = .17）和多动（phi = .15）显著相关，而且与母亲对这些行为的评价错误(psi = .13和。17日,分别)。四年后的1987年，当该队列为12至16岁时，唯一显著的关联是母亲抑郁与品行障碍之间（phi = 0.25）。虽然有证据表明母亲抑郁情绪与母亲评定错误之间存在关联，但母亲抑郁与儿童行为之间似乎也存在实质性关联。
This study uses information collected on two occasions from a probability sample of families with 5- to 12-year-old children (N = 1151) participating in a general population study in 1983 and follow-up in 1987. it evaluated the importance of maternal bias in the assessment of child behavior by comparing the relative strengths of association between maternal depression and childhood behavior and between maternal depression and mother reporting errors. Conduct problems and hyperactivity were measured as latent criterion variables constructed from mother, teacher, and youth (aged 12 to 16 years) ratings and their associations with maternal depression were modeled using covariance structure analysis. The analyses revealed that maternal depression was associated significantly with conduct problems (phi = .35) and hyperactivity (phi = .38) among 5- to 7-years-olds in 1983 but not 4 years later in 1987. None of the associations between maternal depression and mother reporting errors were significant. Among 8- to 12-year-olds in. 1983, maternal depression was associated significantly not only with conduct problems (phi = .17) and hyperactivity (phi = .15) but also with mother rating errors of these behaviors (psi = .13 and .17, respectively). Four years later in 1987 when this cohort was 12 to 16 years old, the only significant association was between maternal depression and conduct disorder (phi = .25). Although evidence exists for associations between maternal depressed mood and mother rating errors, there also appears to be a substantive association between maternal depression and childhood behavior.
