父母患有抑郁症的孩子患抑郁症和其他发育问题的风险更高。最近的研究表明，在抑郁的母亲和她们的婴儿之间面对面的互动中存在着干扰。本研究探讨了母亲抑郁对母亲行为的影响，母亲行为是一种在情感、认知和社会发展中起重要作用的互动行为。研究了母语的两个副语言特征：话语和停顿的时间参数以及母语中常见的5种语调轮廓的使用频率。对36名母亲与其3-4月龄婴儿的面对面互动进行录音，并对2分钟互动序列的音高轮廓和相对强度进行硬拷贝记录。结果表明，抑郁母亲不能根据婴儿的行为改变自己的行为。他们对婴儿发声的反应明显较慢，有更多的可变话语和停顿，并且不太可能利用母亲特有的夸张的语调轮廓。该结果为母亲抑郁增加婴儿精神病理风险的机制提供了证据。
Children of depressed parents are at increased risk for depression and other developmental problems. Recent research indicates that disturbances exist in face-to-face interactions between depressed mothers and their infants. In the present study, the effects of maternal depression on motherese, an interactive behavior that plays a significant role in affective, cognitive, and social development, were examined. 2 paralinguistic features of motherese were examined: temporal parameters of utterances and pauses and the frequency of use of 5 types of intonation contours typically found in motherese utterances. Face-to-face interactions between 36 mothers and their 3-4 month-old infants were audio-recorded, and hard copy records of pitch contours and relative intensity were produced for 2-min interaction sequences. Results indicated that depressed mothers failed to modify their behavior according to the behavior of the infant. They were significantly slower to respond to an infant vocalization, had more variable utterances and pauses, and were less likely to utilize the exaggerated intonation contours that are characteristic of motherese. The results provide evidence for a mechanism through which maternal depression increases the infant''s risk for psychopathology.
