This study examined the relationship of reported maternal depression to prior and current life stressors, and to mother perceptions of child adjustment, parenting behaviors, and child conduct problems. Forty-six depressed mothers and 49 nondepressed mothers and their clinic-referred children (aged 3-8 years) participated. Depressed mothers were more critical than nondepressed mothers, but the behavior of children of depressed and nondepressed mothers showed no significant differences. Depressed mothers were more likely to have experience child abuse, spouse abuse, or more negative life events than nondepressed mothers. Maternal reports of stress related to mother characteristics and to negative life events were the most potent variables discriminating depressed from nondepressed mother families.
本研究考察了所报告的母亲抑郁与既往及当前生活压力源之间的关系，以及母亲对孩子适应情况、养育行为和孩子行为问题的认知。46位抑郁母亲和49位非抑郁母亲及其经诊所转诊的孩子（年龄在3至8岁之间）参与了研究。抑郁母亲比非抑郁母亲更挑剔，但抑郁母亲和非抑郁母亲的孩子的行为没有显著差异。与非抑郁母亲相比，抑郁母亲更有可能经历过儿童期虐待、配偶虐待或更多负面生活事件。与母亲特征和负面生活事件相关的压力的母亲报告是区分抑郁母亲家庭和非抑郁母亲家庭的最有力变量。
