BACKGROUND
This study examines emotion regulation strategies used by children of mothers with childhood-onset depression (COD) and children of never-depressed mothers (NCOD).
METHODS
Participants were 49 COD offspring (ages 4-7) and 37 NCOD offspring (ages 4-7) and their mothers. Emotion regulation strategies were assessed observationally during a laboratory mood induction paradigm.
RESULTS
COD offspring were more likely to focus on the delay object or task than NCOD offspring. Daughters of COD mothers were also more likely to wait passively and less likely to engage in active distraction than daughters of NCOD mothers. These findings were replicated using number of maternal depressive episodes.
CONCLUSIONS
COD offspring, especially daughters, exhibit a more passive style of regulating emotion that may place them at risk for developing psychopathology.
背景
本研究考察了患有儿童期起病抑郁症（COD）的母亲的子女以及从未患抑郁症的母亲（NCOD）的子女所采用的情绪调节策略。
方法
参与者为49名COD后代（4至7岁）、37名NCOD后代（4至7岁）及其母亲。在实验室情绪诱导范式中通过观察来评估情绪调节策略。
结果
与NCOD后代相比，COD后代更有可能专注于延迟目标或任务。COD母亲的女儿也比NCOD母亲的女儿更有可能被动等待，而进行主动分散注意力的可能性更小。使用母亲抑郁发作的次数重复了这些发现。
结论
COD后代，尤其是女儿，表现出一种更被动的情绪调节方式，这可能使他们有患精神病理学疾病的风险。
