本研究探讨母亲忧郁症状与儿童外化行为之间的双向关联，以及是否受到学龄前努力控制与性别的影响。母亲和教师报告了224名主要是白色的中产阶级儿童，年龄分别为3、5和10岁。通过行为电池和母亲评级来评估努力控制。结构方程模型表明，母亲抑郁症状在儿童3岁时预测更多的外化行为在10岁的儿童与低努力控制和男孩。3岁时的外化行为预测了高努力控制儿童的母亲在10岁时的抑郁症状较少。自我调节欠佳的男孩暴露于高水平的母亲抑郁症状是在学龄期行为问题的风险最大。
This study examined bidirectional associations between mothers' depressive symptoms and children's externalizing behavior and whether they were moderated by preschool-age effortful control and gender. Mothers and teachers reported on 224 primarily White, middle-class children at ages 3, 5, and 10. Effortful control was assessed via behavioral battery and mother ratings. Structural equation modeling indicated that maternal depressive symptoms at child age 3 predicted more externalizing behavior at age 10 among children with low effortful control and among boys. Externalizing behavior at age 3 predicted fewer depressive symptoms at the age 10 assessments among mothers of children with high effortful control. Boys with suboptimal self-regulation exposed to high levels of maternal depressive symptoms were at greatest risk for school-age behavioral problems.
