父母抑郁的孩子患抑郁症和其他发育问题的风险更高。最近的研究表明，抑郁的母亲和她们的婴儿之间的面对面互动中存在干扰。在这项研究中，研究了母亲抑郁对母亲的影响，母亲是一种互动行为，在情感、认知和社会发展中发挥着重要作用。2考察了母语的副语言特征：话语和停顿的时间参数，以及母语话语中常见的5种语调轮廓的使用频率。36名母亲和她们3-4个月大的婴儿进行了面对面的互动，并制作了2分钟互动序列的音高轮廓和相对强度的硬拷贝记录。结果表明，抑郁的母亲未能根据婴儿的行为改变自己的行为。他们对婴儿发声的反应明显较慢，有更多的可变发声和停顿，而且不太可能使用母亲特有的夸张语调轮廓。这一结果为母亲抑郁增加婴儿患精神疾病的风险的机制提供了证据。
Children of depressed parents are at increased risk for depression and other developmental problems. Recent research indicates that disturbances exist in face-to-face interactions between depressed mothers and their infants. In the present study, the effects of maternal depression on motherese, an interactive behavior that plays a significant role in affective, cognitive, and social development, were examined. 2 paralinguistic features of motherese were examined: temporal parameters of utterances and pauses and the frequency of use of 5 types of intonation contours typically found in motherese utterances. Face-to-face interactions between 36 mothers and their 3-4 month-old infants were audio-recorded, and hard copy records of pitch contours and relative intensity were produced for 2-min interaction sequences. Results indicated that depressed mothers failed to modify their behavior according to the behavior of the infant. They were significantly slower to respond to an infant vocalization, had more variable utterances and pauses, and were less likely to utilize the exaggerated intonation contours that are characteristic of motherese. The results provide evidence for a mechanism through which maternal depression increases the infant''s risk for psychopathology.
