虽然已经写了很多关于应用交易模型的效用的育儿实践的研究，相对较少的研究人员使用这样的方法来研究儿童如何影响母亲的幸福在他们的发展。本研究以来自低收入家庭的男性为样本，探讨了男孩明显的破坏性行为（男孩年龄为5至10岁）与母亲抑郁症状之间的相互关系。然后，我们用青少年报告的反社会行为（ASB）和母亲抑郁症状来检查这个模型，当男孩年龄较大时，10到15岁。在童年中期，母亲和儿童的影响，从男孩的年龄5至6使用母亲和替代照顾者报告的儿童攻击行为的证据。在青春期早期模型中，发现了一致的母亲效应，在向青春期过渡期间（男孩11至12岁），儿童效应明显。研究结果结合儿童发展的互惠模式和减少母亲抑郁症和儿童反社会行为流行的预防工作进行了讨论。
Although much has been written about the utility of applying transactional models to the study of parenting practices, relatively few researchers have used such an approach to examine how children influence maternal well-being throughout their development. Using a sample of males from predominantly low-income families, the current study explored reciprocal relations between boys' overt disruptive behavior (boys' ages 5 to 10 years) and maternal depressive symptoms. We then examined this model with youth-reported antisocial behaviors (ASB) and maternal depressive symptoms when the boys were older, ages 10 to 15. In middle childhood, evidence was found for both maternal and child effects from boys' ages 5 to 6 using both maternal and alternative caregiver report of child aggressive behavior. In the early adolescence model, consistent maternal effects were found, and child effects were evident during the transition to adolescence (boys' ages 11 to 12). The findings are discussed in reference to reciprocal models of child development and prevention efforts to reduce both maternal depression and the prevalence of child antisocial behavior.
