Relations among maternal depression, child attachment, and children's representations of parents and self were examined. Participants included toddlers and their mothers with a history of major depressive disorder (n= 63) or no history of mental disorder (n= 68). Attachment was assessed at 20 and 36 months and representations of parents and self were assessed at 36 and 48 months. Depressive symptoms were assessed at all 3 time points. While early-occurring maternal depression had a negative impact on children's negative and positive representations of parents, attachment security mediated the relation between depressive symptoms and negative representations. Attachment security served as an intervening variable between maternal depression and changes in children's negative representations of self. Implications for prevention are highlighted.
研究了母亲抑郁、儿童依恋以及儿童对父母和自我的表征之间的关系。参与者包括有重度抑郁症病史的幼儿及其母亲（n = 63）或无精神障碍病史的幼儿及其母亲（n = 68）。在20个月和36个月时评估依恋情况，在36个月和48个月时评估对父母和自我的表征。在所有三个时间点评估抑郁症状。虽然早期出现的母亲抑郁对儿童对父母的消极和积极表征有负面影响，但依恋安全性介导了抑郁症状与消极表征之间的关系。依恋安全性在母亲抑郁与儿童对自我的消极表征变化之间起干预变量的作用。强调了预防的意义。
