Effects of lifetime histories of grandparental (G1) and parental (G2) major depressive disorder (MDD) on children's (G3) internalizing problems were investigated among 267 G3 children (ages 2-18 years) who received Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) ratings and had diagnostic data available on 267 biological G2 parents and 527 biological G1 grandparents. Results indicated that G1 MDD conferred risk for G2 MDD, but not for G3 CBCL scores. G2 MDD predicted higher G3 Internalizing and Anxious/Depressed scores. Also, there was an interaction between G1 MDD and G2 MDD in predicting higher G3 Anxious/Depressed scores such that scores were highest among children with both depressed parents and grandparents. These effects were robust to statistical adjustments for status variables and parental relationship measures but not to adjustment for concurrent parental depressive symptoms.
在267名接受儿童行为检查表(CBCL)评分且有267名亲生G2代父母和527名亲生G1代祖父母诊断数据的G3代儿童(2至18岁)中,研究了祖父母(G1)和父母(G2)的重度抑郁症(MDD)终生病史对儿童(G3)内化问题的影响。结果表明,G1代MDD会增加G2代患MDD的风险,但不会影响G3代的CBCL评分。G2代MDD预示着G3代有更高的内化及焦虑/抑郁评分。此外,在预测G3代更高的焦虑/抑郁评分方面,G1代MDD和G2代MDD之间存在交互作用,即父母和祖父母均患抑郁症的儿童得分最高。这些效应在对状态变量和父母关系测量进行统计调整后依然稳健,但在对同时存在的父母抑郁症状进行调整时则不然。
