Parental characteristics of low care and overprotection have been linked with several grades of depression and anxiety in studies of clinical and non-clinical groups. The possibility that such associations could be spurious ones, brought about by an hereditary influence, was examined in a non-clinical group of adoptees (n = 109). If an hereditary influence accounted for previous findings no associations between such parental characteristics and higher levels of trait depression and anxiety would be expected. Instead associations were found to be as strong as those in the earlier studies, providing further indirect support for the possibility of a causal process linking such parental representations with the expression of certain affective disturbances in adulthood.
在临床和非临床群体研究中，低关怀和过度保护的父母特征与不同程度的抑郁和焦虑有关。在一个由109名被收养者组成的非临床群体中，研究了这种关联是否可能是由遗传影响导致的虚假关联。如果遗传影响可以解释之前的研究结果，那么就不会预期到这种父母特征与较高水平的特质抑郁和焦虑之间存在关联。相反，研究发现这种关联与早期研究中的关联一样强烈，这为将这种父母表征与成年期某些情感障碍的表达联系起来的因果过程的可能性提供了进一步的间接支持。
