Abstract

The present study tested the moderating role of interparental relationship quality and child inhibitory control on the stability of paternal depression over time and associations between paternal depression and child internalizing problems in early childhood. Participants were a subsample (n = 166) of families from the Early Steps Multisite study, a longitudinal study of low-income parents and children. Interparental relationship quality (age 2) attenuated the association between paternal depressive symptoms at age 2 and paternal depressive symptoms at age 3. Both interparental relationship quality (age 3) and child inhibitory control (age 3) attenuated the association between paternal depressive symptoms (age 3) and age 4 child internalizing problems. Results suggest that high interparental relationship quality may be a protective factor in terms of lessening the stability of paternal depressive symptoms over time, as well as the association between paternal depression and later child internalizing problems. Similarly, high levels of inhibitory control may buffer children from the negative effects of paternal depression on the development of internalizing problems.

悲伤的爸爸和有问题的孩子：与父亲抑郁和儿童早期内化问题的稳定性有关的保护因素》（Protective Factors Related to the Stability of Paternal Depression and Early Childhood Internalizing Problems）。

本研究测试了父母间关系质量和儿童抑制性控制对父亲抑郁随时间变化的稳定性的调节作用，以及父亲抑郁与儿童早期内化问题之间的关联。参与者是 "早期阶梯多站点研究"（Early Steps Multisite study）的一个子样本（n = 166），该研究是一项针对低收入父母和儿童的纵向研究。父母间关系质量（2 岁）减弱了 2 岁时父亲抑郁症状与 3 岁时父亲抑郁症状之间的关联。父母间关系质量（3 岁）和儿童抑制控制能力（3 岁）都减轻了父亲抑郁症状（3 岁）与 4 岁儿童内化问题之间的联系。研究结果表明，父母间关系质量高可能是一种保护因素，可降低父亲抑郁症状随时间变化的稳定性，以及父亲抑郁与日后儿童内部化问题之间的关联。同样，高水平的抑制控制能力可能会缓冲父亲抑郁对儿童内化问题发展的负面影响。

期刊介绍： Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology brings together the latest innovative research that advances knowledge of psychopathology from infancy through adolescence. The journal publishes studies that have a strong theoretical framework and use a diversity of methods, with an emphasis on empirical studies of the major forms of psychopathology found in childhood disorders (e.g., disruptive behavior disorders, depression, anxiety, and autism spectrum disorder). Studies focus on the epidemiology, etiology, assessment, treatment, prognosis, and developmental course of these forms of psychopathology. Studies highlighting risk and protective factors; the ecology and correlates of children''s emotional, social, and behavior problems; and advances in prevention and treatment are featured. Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology is the official journal of the International Society for Research in Child and Adolescent Psychopathology (ISRCAP), a multidisciplinary scientific society.
