We investigated how mothers' and fathers' depressed mood and father-child and mother-child relationship predicted preschool children's problem behavior. The sample was 11,286 continuously intact, two-parent biological families of the United Kingdom's Millennium Cohort Study. We found that mother-child relationship and maternal depressed mood had larger effects on children's problem behavior than father-child relationship and paternal depressed mood. The effect of paternal depressed mood was completely mediated by quality of father-child relationship. There were significant moderator effects but only on internalizing problems. There was little evidence to suggest that, among children of this developmental stage, quality of father-child relationship buffers the effect of contextual risk (i.e., promotes resilience). Quality of mother-child relationship, in contrast, buffered the effect of socioeconomic disadvantage but only on emotional symptoms.
我们研究了母亲和父亲的抑郁情绪以及父-子和母-子关系如何预测学龄前儿童的问题行为。该样本来自英国千禧年队列研究的 11286 个连续完整的双亲生物家庭。我们发现，母子关系和母亲的抑郁情绪对孩子的问题行为有更大的影响，而父子关系和父亲的抑郁情绪则没有。父亲的抑郁情绪的影响完全被父子关系的质量所中介。存在显著的调节效应，但只针对内化问题。几乎没有证据表明，在这个发展阶段的儿童中，父子关系的质量缓冲了情境风险的影响（即促进了恢复力）。相比之下，母子关系的质量缓冲了社会经济劣势的影响，但只针对情绪症状。
