背景资料：尽管研究发现父母抑郁会增加孩子内化和外化问题的风险，但对与父母抑郁结合联合收割机导致行为问题的其他因素知之甚少。研究方法：作为儿童期发作的抑郁症（COD）的纵向，跨学科研究的一部分，我们研究了母亲的COD史，儿童额叶脑电图不对称，情感行为与儿童的并发行为问题的关联。结果如下：COD组的儿童比对照组的儿童有更高的焦虑/抑郁和攻击性问题，但这是由COD不对称的相互作用效应所限定的。对于COD，而不是控制儿童，左额叶不对称与焦虑/抑郁和侵略性的儿童问题。左额叶不对称和低情绪调节行为的儿童比高情绪调节行为的儿童有更高的焦虑/抑郁问题。左额叶不对称的男孩比右额叶不对称的男孩有更高的攻击性问题。结论：在母亲患有COD的儿童中，情感调节的生理和行为指标可能构成行为问题的风险。
Background: Despite findings that parent depression increases children's risk for internalizing and externalizing problems, little is known about other factors that combine with parent depression to contribute to behavior problems. Methods: As part of a longitudinal, interdisciplinary study on childhood-onset depression (COD), we examined the association of mother history of COD, child frontal electroencephalogram asymmetry, and affective behavior with children's concurrent behavior problems. Results: Children in the COD group had higher anxious/depressed and aggressive problems than did children in the control group, but this was qualified by a COD-by-asymmetry interaction effect. For COD but not control children, left frontal asymmetry was associated with both anxious/depressed and aggressive child problems. Children with left frontal asymmetry and low affect regulation behavior had higher anxious/depressed problems than did those with high affect regulation behavior. Boys with left frontal asymmetry had higher aggressive problems than did those with right frontal asymmetry. Conclusions: In children of mothers with COD, physiological and behavioral indices of affect regulation may constitute risks for behavior problems.
