Relations among parental depressive symptoms, overt and covert marital conflict, and child internalizing and externalizing symptoms were examined in a community sample of 235 couples and their children. Families were assessed once yearly for three years, starting when children were in kindergarten. Parents completed measures of depressive symptoms and children's internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Behavioral observations of marital conflict behaviors (insult, threat, pursuit, and defensiveness) and self-report of covert negativity (feeling worry, sorry, worthless, and helpless) were assessed based on problem solving interactions. Results indicated that fathers' greater covert negativity and mothers' overt destructive conflict behaviors served as intervening variables in the link between fathers' depressive symptoms and child internalizing symptoms, with modest support for the pathway through fathers' covert negativity found even after controlling for earlier levels of constructs. These findings support the role of marital conflict in the impact of fathers' depressive symptoms on child internalizing symptoms.
在一个由235对夫妻及其子女组成的社区样本中，研究了父母的抑郁症状、公开和隐蔽的婚姻冲突与孩子的内化和外化症状之间的关系。从孩子上幼儿园开始，对这些家庭进行了为期三年的年度评估。父母完成了抑郁症状以及孩子内化和外化症状的测量。基于解决问题的互动，对婚姻冲突行为（侮辱、威胁、追求和防御）进行了行为观察，并对隐蔽消极情绪（感到担忧、抱歉、无价值和无助）进行了自我报告。结果表明，父亲更多的隐蔽消极情绪和母亲公开的破坏性冲突行为，在父亲的抑郁症状与孩子内化症状之间的联系中起到了中介变量的作用，即使在控制了早期的构念水平之后，仍能适度支持通过父亲隐蔽消极情绪的路径。这些发现支持了婚姻冲突在父亲抑郁症状对孩子内化症状影响中的作用。
