In a longitudinal study, mothers (N = 50) self-reported on their depressive symptoms (DS) and their child's behavior during the first year and at 36 months postpartum. Maternal DS during infancy were associated with child conduct problems (CP), suggesting a long-term association between maternal mental health and the development of child behavior. Infant temperament was also associated with child behavior so that negative affect predicted child CP, while infant surgency was associated with later hyperactivity-inattention. This study contributes to the literature by jointly assessing the role of maternal DS and infant temperament and showing that these are independent predictors of childhood behavior.
在一项纵向研究中，母亲（N=50）报告了她们在婴儿期和产后 36 个月时的抑郁症状（DS）和孩子的行为。婴儿期的母亲 DS 与儿童行为问题（CP）相关，表明母亲心理健康与儿童行为发展之间存在长期关联。婴儿气质也与儿童行为相关，即负性情绪预测儿童 CP，而婴儿的活力与后来的多动-注意力不集中相关。本研究通过联合评估母亲 DS 和婴儿气质的作用，并表明这些是儿童行为的独立预测因素，为文献做出了贡献。
