This longitudinal study examined whether mothers' depressive symptomatology predicted parenting practices in a sample of 199 mothers of 3-year-old children with behavior problems who were assessed yearly until age 6. Higher maternal depressive symptoms were associated with higher overreactivity and laxness and lower warmth when children were 6 years old. Higher maternal depressive symptoms were also related to increases in overreactivity across the preschool years. Moreover, depression and parenting practices (overreactivity and laxness) covaried over time within mothers. These results provide evidence of a strong link between maternal depression and parenting during the preschool years.
这项纵向研究调查了在199名有行为问题的3岁儿童的母亲样本中,母亲的抑郁症状是否能预测育儿方式。这些母亲及其孩子每年接受评估,直至孩子6岁。当孩子6岁时,母亲较高的抑郁症状与较高的过度反应性、宽松性以及较低的温情程度相关。母亲较高的抑郁症状还与整个学龄前阶段过度反应性的增加有关。此外,母亲的抑郁与育儿方式(过度反应性和宽松性)在时间上存在共变关系。这些结果证明了学龄前阶段母亲抑郁与育儿方式之间存在紧密联系。
