背景：抑郁症女性的后代有抑郁症状和其他精神病理学的高发病率。作者研究了母亲在子女童年和青春期报告的抑郁和焦虑症状与抑郁障碍及其成年子女教育成就的关系。方法：数据来自一项纵向队列研究，研究对象是来自芝加哥伍德劳恩社区的一年级学生，年龄从6岁到32岁（N = 879）。成年子女的抑郁和受教育程度是回归早期自我报告的母亲的心理困扰。运用多元逻辑回归分析，作者控制了贫困、母亲受教育程度、流动性、家庭结构、母亲疾病以及儿童一年级课堂行为和心理症状之间的关系。结果如下：母亲有持续的心理困扰的女儿有2.5倍的风险终身抑郁症，但没有增加高中辍学的风险。对于儿子，母亲的心理困扰与抑郁症无关，但与教育程度较差有关。结论：母亲在养育子女期间的抑郁情绪与子女成年后的抑郁情绪和受教育程度有关。儿子和女儿的模式不同。
Background: Offspring of depressed women have high rates of depressive symptoms and other psychopathology. The authors examined the relationship of mothers' symptoms of depression and anxiety reported during their offspring's childhood and adolescence on depressive disorder and educational achievement of their adult children. Method: The data come from a longitudinal cohort study of first graders from Woodlawn, a neighborhood in Chicago, followed from age 6 to 32 years (N = 879). Adult children's depression and educational attainment are regressed on earlier self-reports of mothers' psychological distress. Using multiple logistic regression, the authors controlled for the relationships of poverty, mothers' education, mobility, family structure, mothers' illness, and children's first grade classroom behavior and psychological symptoms. Results: Daughters of mothers with persistent maternal psychological distress had two and a half times the risk of lifetime depressive disorder, but no increased risk of high school dropout. For sons, mothers' psychological distress was not related to depression but was related to poorer educational attainment. Conclusions: Mothers' depressed feelings during the childrearing years relate to their children's depression and educational attainment as measured in adulthood. The patterns differ for sons and daughters.
