Using data from a racially and ethnically diverse sample of low-income fathers and their 2-year-old children who participated in the Early Head Start Research Evaluation Project ( = 80), the current study explored the association among paternal depressive symptoms and level of education, fathers' language to their children, and children's language skills. There were three main findings. First, there was large variability in the quality and quantity of language used during linguistic interactions between low-income fathers and their toddlers. Second, fathers with higher levels of education had children who spoke more (i.e. utterances) and had more diverse vocabularies (i.e. word types) than fathers with lower levels of education. However, fathers with more depressive symptoms had children with less grammatically complex language (i.e. smaller MLUs) than fathers with fewer depressive symptoms. Third, direct effects between fathers' depressive symptoms and level of education and children's language outcomes were partially mediated by fathers' quantity and quality of language.
本研究利用参与“早期开端研究评估项目”（N = 80）的低收入父亲及其2岁子女的种族和族裔多样化样本数据，探讨了父亲抑郁症状与教育水平、父亲与子女的语言交流以及子女语言技能之间的关联。主要有三项发现。第一，低收入父亲与其幼儿在语言互动过程中使用的语言质量和数量存在很大差异。第二，与教育水平较低的父亲相比，教育水平较高的父亲的孩子说话更多（即话语），词汇量也更多样（即单词类型）。然而，与抑郁症状较少的父亲相比，抑郁症状较多的父亲的孩子语言语法复杂性较低（即平均语句长度较小）。第三，父亲的抑郁症状与教育水平和子女语言结果之间的直接影响部分由父亲语言的数量和质量介导。
