We used data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study to examine the association between multipartnered fertility (MPF)-when parents have children with more than one partner-and depression. Random effects models suggested that MPF is associated with a greater likelihood of depression, net of family structure and other covariates. However, these associations disappeared in more conservative fixed effects models that estimated changes in MPF as a function of changes in depression. Results also suggested that social selection may account for the link between MPF and depression for fathers (but not mothers), as depressed fathers with no MPF were more likely to have a child by a new partner four years later. Ultimately, MPF and depression may be reciprocally related and part of broader processes of social disadvantage.
我们使用了脆弱家庭与儿童福利研究的数据，以检验多伴侣生育（即父母与多个伴侣育有子女）与抑郁症之间的关联。随机效应模型表明，在考虑家庭结构和其他协变量的情况下，多伴侣生育与患抑郁症的可能性更大有关。然而，在更保守的固定效应模型中，这些关联消失了，该模型将多伴侣生育的变化估计为抑郁症变化的函数。结果还表明，社会选择可能解释了父亲（而非母亲）的多伴侣生育与抑郁症之间的联系，因为没有多伴侣生育经历的抑郁父亲在四年后更有可能与新伴侣生育子女。最终，多伴侣生育和抑郁症可能相互关联，并且是更广泛的社会劣势过程的一部分。
