目前的研究检查了母亲的抑郁症状和母子相互性在儿童的早期和儿童的适应不良，在他们的第一年的学校。117名儿童（74名男孩和43名女孩）的母亲分别在四个时间点完成了贝克抑郁量表，当时他们的孩子大约2岁，3岁，4岁和6岁。年此外，每一个母子二人组被拍摄在第一个时间点玩，并尝试在最后一个时间点的蚀刻素描任务，在这里，教师完成的优势和困难问卷。验证性因素分析技术的修改强调，母亲的抑郁症状和母子相互性的测量是等效的跨时间。路径分析和潜在增长模型表明，母子相互性和母亲的抑郁症状的个体差异是稳定的，在整个4年期间的本研究。此外，在母亲的初始抑郁症状和mother-toddler相互预测教师的儿童的困难评级的个体差异的变化。这些发现强调了儿童早期接触和经历母亲抑郁症状和母子相互关系的重要性。版权所有（c）2011约翰威利父子有限公司
The current study examined mothers' depressive symptoms and motherchild mutuality across children's early years and children's maladjustment in their first year of school. Mothers of 117 children (74 boys and 43 girls) each completed the Beck Depression Inventory at four time points, when their children were approximately aged 2, 3, 4 and 6?years. In addition, each motherchild dyad was filmed playing at the first time point and attempting an Etch-a-Sketch task at the last time point; here, teachers completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Modifications of confirmatory factor analytic techniques highlighted that the measurement of both mothers' depressive symptoms and motherchild mutuality were equivalent across time. A path analysis and a latent growth model demonstrated that individual differences in both motherchild mutuality and mothers' depressive symptoms were stable across the 4-year period of the current study. Moreover, variation in both mothers' initial depressive symptoms and mothertoddler mutuality predicted individual differences in teachers' ratings of children's difficulties. These findings highlight the importance of children's early exposure to and experience of mothers' depressive symptoms and motherchild mutuality. Copyright (c) 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
