This study examined whether improvement in parents' depression was linked with changes in their children's depressive symptoms and functioning. Participants were 223 parents and children ranging in age from 7 to 17 years old (M = 12.13, SD =2.31); 126 parents were in treatment for depression and 97 parents were nondepressed. Children were evaluated 6 times over 2 years. Changes in parents' depressive symptoms predicted changes in children's depressive symptoms over and above the effect of time; children's symptoms significantly predicted parents' symptoms. Trajectories of children's depressive symptoms differed significantly for children of remitted versus nonremitted depressed parents, and these differences were significantly predicted by their parents' level of depression. The relation between parents' and children's depressive symptoms was partially mediated by parental acceptance.
本研究考察了父母抑郁状况的改善是否与孩子抑郁症状和功能的变化有关。参与者为 223 名年龄在 7 至 17 岁之间的父母和孩子（M=12.13，SD=2.31）；126 名父母正在接受抑郁症治疗，97 名父母没有抑郁。孩子在 2 年内接受了 6 次评估。父母抑郁症状的变化预测了儿童抑郁症状的变化，超过了时间的影响；儿童的症状显著预测了父母的症状。缓解与未缓解抑郁父母的孩子的抑郁症状轨迹有显著差异，这些差异显著受其父母抑郁程度的预测。父母和孩子抑郁症状之间的关系部分由父母接受程度中介。
