Dyadic interactions may be affected by the mental health of either partner; however, both partners' symptoms are typically not considered simultaneously in observational studies of parent-child relationships. Using the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM), we examine how depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in mothers and adolescent daughters predict their own and each other's relational behaviors (warmth, hostility, communication) during interactions, and whether partners' relational behaviors predict changes in symptoms 1 month later. Participants include 150 mother (mean age = 41.6) and daughter (mean age = 15.1) dyads from diverse (57% Latina; 23% Black, 20% White), low-income families. Mothers and daughters reported on their symptoms and participated in a videotaped interaction task. A subset completed a follow-up interview 1 month later. For both depression and PTSD, mothers' and daughters' symptoms predicted their own relational behaviors (actor effects). In contrast, partner effects varied by symptom type and family role. Adolescents' depressive symptoms predicted how their mothers acted toward them, beyond maternal symptoms (an additive partner effect); the converse was not true. Mother and daughter PTSD symptoms interactively predicted daughters' relational behaviors (an Actor × Partner interaction), with buffering or exacerbating effects based on dyad symptom similarity. PTSD symptoms had unique effects beyond depression. In longitudinal analysis, mothers' relational behaviors predicted changes in adolescents' depressive symptoms, but adolescent behaviors were unrelated to subsequent maternal symptoms. Findings suggest that depression and PTSD symptoms may affect family relationships differently, and highlight the importance of considering both members' symptoms during interactions. Implications for dyadic interventions are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved).
对偶互动可能会受到双方心理健康的影响；然而，在观察父母与子女关系的研究中，通常不会同时考虑双方的症状。我们使用演员-伙伴相互依赖模型（APIM），考察了母亲和青春期女儿的抑郁和创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状如何预测她们在互动中自身和彼此的关系行为（温暖、敌意、沟通），以及伴侣的关系行为是否可以预测一个月后症状的变化。参与者包括来自不同（57%拉丁裔；23%黑人，20%白人）、低收入家庭的 150 对母亲（平均年龄=41.6）和女儿（平均年龄=15.1）。母亲和女儿报告了自己的症状，并参与了录像互动任务。一部分人在一个月后完成了后续访谈。对于抑郁和 PTSD，母亲和女儿的症状都预测了她们自己的关系行为（演员效应）。相比之下，伙伴效应因症状类型和家庭角色而异。青少年的抑郁症状预测了他们母亲对他们的行为方式，而不仅仅是母亲的症状（附加的伙伴效应）；反之则不然。母亲和女儿的 PTSD 症状相互预测了女儿的关系行为（演员-伙伴的相互作用），根据对的症状相似性，产生了缓冲或加剧的影响。PTSD 症状除了抑郁之外还有独特的影响。在纵向分析中，母亲的关系行为预测了青少年抑郁症状的变化，但青少年的行为与随后的母亲症状无关。研究结果表明，抑郁和 PTSD 症状可能以不同的方式影响家庭关系，并强调了在互动过程中考虑双方症状的重要性。讨论了对对偶干预的影响。（心理学文摘数据库记录（c）2018 APA，保留所有权利）。
