Mother-child communication may be an important factor in determining children's grief reactions following the death of the father. Using observational methods, the current study suggests that mothers' warm, sensitive, and engaged communication is associated with lower levels of maladaptive grief and depressive symptoms in children whose fathers have recently died. Further, mothers who showed a blunted emotional response to the loss, illustrated by unusually few depressive symptoms, were less effective at using these strategies than mothers with a more "normative" reaction. Findings suggest that mother-child communication may be an important intervention target for bereaved families.
母婴沟通可能是决定孩子在父亲去世后悲伤反应的一个重要因素。本研究采用观察法表明，在最近丧父的儿童中，母亲温暖、敏感和投入的沟通与较低水平的适应不良悲伤和抑郁症状相关。此外，与反应更“正常”的母亲相比，对丧失表现出情绪反应迟钝（表现为抑郁症状异常少）的母亲，在使用这些策略方面效果较差。研究结果表明，母婴沟通可能是丧亲家庭的一个重要干预目标。
