Affect regulation skills develop in the context of the family environment, wherein youths are influenced by their parents', and possibly their siblings', regulatory responses and styles. Regulatory responses to sadness (mood repair) that exacerbate or prolong dysphoria (maladaptive mood repair) may represent one way in which depression is transmitted within families. We examined self-reported adaptive and maladaptive mood repair responses across cognitive, social and behavioural domains in Hungarian 11- to 19-year-old youth and their parents. Offspring included 214 probands with a history of childhood-onset depressive disorder, 200 never depressed siblings and 161 control peers. Probands reported the most problematic mood repair responses, with siblings reporting more modest differences from controls. Mood repair responses of parents and their offspring, as well as within sib-pairs, were related, although results differed as a function of the regulatory response domain. Results demonstrate familiality of maladaptive and adaptive mood repair responses in multiple samples. These familial associations suggest that relationships with parents and siblings within families may impact the development of affect regulation in youth.
情绪调节技能在家庭环境中发展，在这种环境中，青少年会受到父母以及可能还有兄弟姐妹的调节反应和方式的影响。对悲伤的调节反应（情绪修复）若加剧或延长烦躁不安（适应不良的情绪修复），可能是抑郁症在家庭中传播的一种方式。我们研究了匈牙利11至19岁青少年及其父母在认知、社会和行为领域自我报告的适应性和适应不良的情绪修复反应。后代包括214名有儿童期起病抑郁症病史的先证者、200名从未患抑郁症的兄弟姐妹和161名对照同龄人。先证者报告的情绪修复反应问题最大，兄弟姐妹与对照组的差异较小。父母及其后代以及同胞对之间的情绪修复反应是相关的，尽管结果因调节反应领域而异。结果表明，多个样本中适应不良和适应性情绪修复反应具有家族性。这些家族关联表明，家庭中与父母和兄弟姐妹的关系可能会影响青少年情绪调节的发展。
