To determine whether the "depressed" behavior (e.g., less positive affect and lower activity level) of infants noted during interactions with their "depressed" mothers generalizes to their interactions with nondepressed adults, 74 3-6-month-old infants of "depressed" and nondepressed mothers were videotaped in face-to-face interactions with their mothers and with nondepressed female strangers. "Depressed" mothers and their infants received lower ratings on all behaviors than nondepressed mothers and infants. Although the infants of "depressed" versus nondepressed mothers also received lower ratings with the stranger adult, very few differences were noted between those infants' ratings when interacting with their mother versus the stranger, suggesting that their "depressed" style of interacting is not specific to their interactions with depressed mothers but generalizes to their interactions with nondepressed adults as early as 3 months of age.
为了确定婴儿在与“抑郁”母亲互动时表现出的“抑郁”行为（如积极情绪较少、活动水平较低）是否会推广到他们与非抑郁成年人的互动中，研究人员对74名母亲抑郁和非抑郁的3至6个月大婴儿在与母亲及非抑郁女性陌生人进行面对面互动时的情况进行了录像。与非抑郁母亲及其婴儿相比，“抑郁”母亲及其婴儿在所有行为上的评分都更低。虽然与非抑郁母亲的婴儿相比，母亲抑郁的婴儿在与陌生成年人互动时的评分也较低，但在这些婴儿与母亲互动和与陌生人互动时的评分之间，几乎没有发现差异，这表明他们“抑郁”的互动方式并非特定于与抑郁母亲的互动，而是早在3个月大时就推广到了与非抑郁成年人的互动中。
