Maternal acceptance is associated with youth emotion regulation (a correlate of depression among adolescent girls); however, less is known about the impact of fathers. In this prospective study, we examined effects of maternal and paternal acceptance on youth sadness inhibition (a facet of emotion dysregulation) among adolescent girls (n = 82; M = 13.28; 43% from minoritized racial/ethnic groups) over 1 year. Youth varied on depression risk, which was assessed via clinical diagnostic interviews. Bivariate results showed that maternal acceptance was associated with lower youth sadness inhibition at baseline and 1-year follow-up, while paternal acceptance was only associated with lower youth sadness inhibition at 1-year follow-up. Step-wise regressions showed that paternal acceptance was inversely associated with youth sadness inhibition over time, above and beyond effects of youth age, baseline sadness inhibition, depression risk, and maternal acceptance. Findings highlight the importance of examining both mothers' and fathers' impact on adolescent girls' development of emotion regulation.
母亲的接纳与青少年的情绪调节（少女抑郁的一个相关因素）有关；然而，父亲的影响却知之甚少。在这项前瞻性研究中，我们研究了母亲和父亲的接纳对少女悲伤抑制（情绪失调的一个方面）的影响，研究对象为 82 名青少年女孩（平均年龄为 13.28 岁；43%来自少数族裔群体），为期 1 年。通过临床诊断访谈评估了青少年的抑郁风险。双变量结果表明，母亲的接纳与青少年在基线和 1 年随访时的悲伤抑制程度较低有关，而父亲的接纳仅与青少年在 1 年随访时的悲伤抑制程度较低有关。逐步回归表明，父亲的接纳与青少年悲伤抑制的随时间的变化呈负相关，超过了青少年年龄、基线悲伤抑制、抑郁风险和母亲接纳的影响。研究结果强调了同时考察母亲和父亲对少女情绪调节发展的影响的重要性。
