我们研究了童年时期报告的母亲抑郁症状作为成年中期重要人格特质——经验开放性(O)的预测因子的作用。参与者是95名成年人（38名以前营养不良，57名对照组，平均年龄42.1岁），他们从小就被巴巴多斯营养研究纵向跟踪。在被试5-11岁时，用《一般调整与士气量表》测量了母亲的抑郁症状；O在成年期通过NEO-PI-R （NEO-PI-R）进行测量。经儿童家庭生活水平调整后的多元回归分析显示，0对母亲抑郁症状有显著的主效应（p < 0.01）。母亲抑郁也使儿童营养不良的显著影响减弱了14%。因此，母亲在童年时期的抑郁症状可能对成人人格，特别是对经验的开放性，产生因果作用，影响创造力。
We examined the role of maternal depressive symptoms reported during childhood as a predictor of an important personality trait, Openness to Experience (O), in middle adulthood. Participants were 95 adults (38 previously malnourished, 57 control, mean age 42.1 years) who had been followed longitudinally since childhood by the Barbados Nutrition Study. Maternal depressive symptoms had been measured when the participants were 5–11 years of age by the General Adjustment and Morale Scale; O was measured in adulthood by the Revised NEO-Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R). Multiple regression analyses, adjusted for childhood household standard of living, showed a significant main effect on O of maternal depressive symptoms (p < 0.01). Maternal depression also attenuated the significant effect of childhood malnutrition by 14%. Maternal depressive symptoms in childhood may therefore play a causal role in adult personality, in particular Openness to Experience, with implications for creativity.
