目的：母亲表达的态度，他们的孩子进行了检查，以辨别母亲抑郁症和儿童的精神病理学和自尊之间的关联是否可能被修改的母亲的表达的批评态度。方法：母亲在孩子一生中至少有一次单相抑郁症发作史的母子二人组（N = 20）与父母健康的母子二人组（N = 19）进行了比较。儿童的年龄从8岁到10岁不等。母亲对孩子的态度来自半结构化访谈。在每一个母亲的陈述中表达的影响被编码为中性，积极的，描述性的负面，或情感负电荷。结果：情感负责的负面声明被发现与母亲的抑郁发作史。一种倾向是注意到最高的精神病理学的比率是在抑郁的母亲谁使用情感消极的声明。研究发现，母亲使用情感负性情绪可以改变母亲抑郁与儿童较低的整体自我价值感之间的关联。结论：临床医生通过观察母亲对孩子的批评态度，可能会发现孩子有自尊心降低和精神病理学发展的风险。
Objective: Mothers' expressed attitudes about their children were examined to discern whether the associations between maternal depression and children's psychopathology and self-esteem might be modified by the mother's expression of critical attitudes. Method: Mother-child dyads with mothers who had a history of at least one episode of unipolar major depression during the child's lifetime (N = 20) were compared to dyads with well parents (N = 19). Children's ages ranged from 8 to 10 years. Mothers' attitudes toward their children were derived from semistructured interviews. The affect expressed in each maternal statement was coded as neutral, positive, descriptive negative, or affectively charged negative. Results: Affectively charged negative statements were found to be associated with mothers with a history of depressive episodes. A tendency was noted for the highest rates of psychopathology to be among children of depressed mothers who used affective-negative statements. Mothers' use of affectively charged negatives was found to modify the association between maternal depression and children's lower global self-worth. Conclusions: Clinicians attuned to mothers' expression of critical attitudes toward their children might detect children at risk for lowered self-esteem and the development of psychopathology.
