本研究调查了父亲在婴儿期的参与是否会减少或加剧母亲在儿童期抑郁对儿童期行为问题的不良影响。在一个社区样本（N = 350）中，作者发现，父亲自我报告的养育方式与父亲照顾婴儿的时间相互作用，以缓和母亲在儿童婴儿期抑郁对儿童内化而非外化行为的纵向影响。低到中等数量的高温暖的父亲参与和大量的中等或高控制的父亲参与在这个时候与较低的儿童内化行为。在孩子的婴儿期，父亲的抑郁加剧了母亲抑郁的影响，但这种调节作用仅限于抑郁的父亲花费中等到高的时间照顾他们的婴儿。结果强调，父亲可能发挥调节作用，在减少或加剧不利的长期影响，母亲抑郁症在儿童的婴儿期对以后的儿童行为问题。
This research investigated whether father involvement in infancy may reduce or exacerbate the well-established adverse effect of maternal depression during a child's infancy on behavior problems in childhood. In a community sample (N = 350), the authors found that fathers' self-reported parenting styles interacted with the amount of time fathers spent caring for their infants to moderate the longitudinal effect of maternal depression during the child's infancy on children's internalizing, but not externalizing, behaviors. Low to medium amounts of high-warmth father involvement and high amounts of medium- or high-control father involvement at this time were associated with lower child internalizing behaviors. Paternal depression during a child's infancy exacerbated the effect of maternal depression, but this moderating effect was limited to depressed fathers spending medium to high amounts of time caring for their infants. Results emphasize the moderating role fathers may play in reducing or exacerbating the adverse long-term effects of maternal depression during a child's infancy on later child behavior problems.
