产后母亲抑郁与母亲反应困难有关。由于婴儿发出的大多数信号都来自面部表情，对这些困难的一种可能解释是，患有产后抑郁症的母亲会受到特定婴儿面部表情的不同影响。因此，本研究调查了产后抑郁症对母亲对婴儿面部表情的感知的影响。参与者（15 名对照组、15 名抑郁母亲和 15 名焦虑母亲）被要求对一些婴儿面部表情进行评分，范围从非常积极到非常消极。每张脸都以随机顺序显示两次，一次较短，一次较长。结果显示，当在较长时间内向婴儿展示面孔（即更消极或更积极）时，母亲会使用更极端的评分。与对照组相比，患有产后抑郁症的母亲更有可能对长期暴露的婴儿面孔给予更负面的评价。这些差异是抑郁症特有的，而不是一般产后精神病理学的影响——因为焦虑的母亲和对照组之间没有观察到差异。对于短期或任一长度的正价或中性价面的婴儿面孔，母亲的评价没有其他显着差异。研究结果表明，患有产后抑郁症的母亲对婴儿的态度更为消极，这表明评价偏差可能是这些母亲在回应自己的婴儿信号时遇到的一些困难的根源。
Postnatal maternal depression is associated with difficulties in maternal responsiveness. As most signals arising from the infant come from facial expressions one possible explanation for these difficulties is that mothers with postnatal depression are differentially affected by particular infant facial expressions. Thus, this study investigates the effects of postnatal depression on mothers’ perceptions of infant facial expressions. Participants (15 controls, 15 depressed and 15 anxious mothers) were asked to rate a number of infant facial expressions, ranging from very positive to very negative. Each face was shown twice, for a short and for a longer period of time in random order. Results revealed that mothers used more extreme ratings when shown the infant faces (i.e. more negative or more positive) for a longer period of time. Mothers suffering from postnatal depression were more likely to rate negative infant faces shown for a longer period more negatively than controls. The differences were specific to depression rather than an effect of general postnatal psychopathology—as no differences were observed between anxious mothers and controls. There were no other significant differences in maternal ratings of infant faces showed for short periods or for positive or neutral valence faces of either length. The findings that mothers with postnatal depression rate negative infant faces more negatively indicate that appraisal bias might underlie some of the difficulties that these mothers have in responding to their own infants signals.
