Abstract :
Direct and indirect relations among maternal
depression, maternal Expressed Emotion (EE: Self- and
Child-Criticism), child internalizing and externalizing symptoms,
and child attachment were examined. Participants were
mothers with depression (n=130) and comparison mothers
(n=68) and their toddlers (M age=20 mo.; 53% male).
Assessments included the Diagnostic Interview Schedule
(maternal depression); the Five Minute Speech Sample (EE);
the Child Behavior Checklist (toddler behavior problems);
the Strange Situation (child attachment). Direct relations
were significant linking: 1) maternal depression with both
EE and child functioning; 2) Child-Criticism with child
internalizing and externalizing symptoms; 3) Self-Criticism
with child attachment. Significant indirect relations were
found linking maternal depression with: 1) child externalizing
behaviors via Child-Criticism; 2) child internalizing
behaviors via Self- and Child-Criticism; and 3) child
attachment via Self-Criticism. Findings are consistent with
a conceptual model in which maternal EE mediates relations
between maternal depression and toddler socio-emotional
functioning.
