The speech behavior of 14 depressed and 18 nondepressed mothers during conversation with their 3-year-old children was examined in this study. It was found that depressed mothers vocalized less often and responded less quickly to the cessation of their children's speech than healthy mothers. In a mildly stressful situation, (awaiting a doctor's visit), the depressed mothers, but not the healthy mothers, significantly increased their level of speech productivity. Children of the depressed mothers spoke less than children of healthy women, particularly while sitting and eating lunch with their mothers. The observed differences in the mothers' behaviors were interpreted as an indication that the two groups of children are exposed to very different patterns of socialization. The offspring of depressed women are being taught both to keep social interaction to a minimum and to be overreactive to even mild stresses. The differences in the children's behavior may indicate that already these 3-year-old children have learned to keep their interactions with their mother to a minimum. This manner of adaptation may have negative effects on the child's continued social, emotional and cognitive development. In order to understand the developmental impact of the observed aberrant patterns of vocalic interaction between depressed mothers and their young children, two further studies are underway. First, the question of continuity of experience will be addressed by analyzing the conversation patterns of these women and children three years after the initial observation. Second, the question of alternate environmental supports for the children's development will be examined by assessing the conversation patterns of these young children and their older siblings. These observations are of the children both at the time of the original assessment of mother-child interaction and again at the time of the first follow-up assessment.

14名抑郁母亲和18名非抑郁母亲的言语行为 在与他们3岁的孩子交谈时进行了检查 在这项研究中。研究发现，抑郁的母亲发声较少 通常，并且对其停止的响应速度较慢 儿童的言语比健康的母亲要好。在一种轻微的压力下 情况，(等待医生来访)，抑郁的母亲，但 而不是健康的母亲，显著增加了她们的水平 演讲效率。抑郁母亲的孩子更少说话 比健康女性的孩子，尤其是坐着和 和他们的母亲一起吃午饭。观察到的差异 母亲的行为被解读为两个人 成群的儿童暴露在非常不同的模式中 社交。抑郁症妇女的后代正在接受教育 既将社交互动保持在最低限度，又是 即使是轻微的压力也会反应过度。两个国家之间的差异 孩子们的行为可能表明这些3岁的孩子已经 孩子们已经学会了与母亲保持互动 降到最低限度。这种适应方式可能会产生负面影响 对儿童持续的社交、情感和认知的影响 发展。 为了了解所观察到的 抑郁症患者发声相互作用的异常模式 关于母亲和她们年幼的孩子，进一步的两项研究是 正在进行中。首先，经验的连续性问题将是 通过分析这些女性的对话模式来解决 和孩子们在最初观察三年后。第二， 为儿童提供替代环境支持的问题 将通过评估对话来检查发展情况 这些年幼的孩子和他们年长的兄弟姐妹的模式。这些 观察都是在最初的时候对孩子进行的 对母子互动的评估，并在 第一次后续评估。
