To study the independent association of parental depression and ADHD on three dimensions of child psychopathology among 178 children aged 5 to 10 years.
Self-reported measures of parental depression and ADHD as well as rating scales and structure diagnostic interviews of child internalizing, ADHD, and externalizing problems were obtained.
Structural equation modeling indicated that parental ADHD was positively associated with a broad child problems factor after a second-order factor of child problems best accounted for the high intercorrelations among the internalizing, ADHD, and externalizing child psychopathology factors. Parental depression did not significantly predict the second-order child problems factor, but it specifically predicted the child internalizing factor.
These results suggest that parental ADHD may be a nonspecific risk factor for child psychopathology broadly, whereas parental depression may function as a specific risk factor for child internalizing problems.
在 178 名 5 至 10 岁儿童中,研究父母抑郁和 ADHD 对儿童精神病理学三个维度的独立影响。
获得父母抑郁和 ADHD 的自我报告测量以及儿童内化、ADHD 和外化问题的评定量表和结构诊断访谈。
结构方程模型表明,在二阶儿童问题因子最佳解释内化、ADHD 和外化儿童精神病理学因子之间高度相关后,父母 ADHD 与广泛的儿童问题因子呈正相关。父母抑郁并未显著预测二阶儿童问题因子,但它特别预测了儿童内化因子。
这些结果表明,父母 ADHD 可能是儿童精神病理学广泛的非特异性风险因素,而父母抑郁可能是儿童内化问题的特异性风险因素。
