maternal depression; parenting stress; infants' internalizing behavior problems
采用问卷法对298名6个月婴儿的母亲进行为期8个月的追踪,探究母亲的抑郁情绪与教养压力的相互预测关系,母亲抑郁情绪与婴儿内化问题间母亲教养压力的中介作用,以及受教育程度对中介路径的调节作用。结果表明:(1)母亲抑郁情绪可显著正向预测母亲的教养压力。(2)母亲抑郁情绪与婴儿内化问题间存在有调节的中介作用。在低受教育程度的母亲群体中,母亲抑郁情绪既可直接也可通过教养压力间接作用于婴儿的内化问题。而在受教育程度高的母亲群体中,这两种作用均不存在。

Depression and parenting stress are common phenomena in postpartum women. Both of them may increase risks for the development of psychopathology in children. The influence of maternal depression may be transmitted through four mechanisms: heritability, innate neural disregulation, negative parenting, and children's experience of a stressful environment. Maternal depression has been found to be related to children's behavior problems, such as negative affect, heightened emotionality, and anxiety. Parenting stress results from a perceived discrepancy between demands pertaining to parenthood and personal resources. Parenting stress may predict children's anxiety, depression, and various other psychopathological symptoms. The purpose of the present study was(a) to explore relations between maternal depression and maternal parenting stress using a cross-lagged design and(b) to examine a moderated mediation model in which parenting stress mediated the relations between maternal depression and infants' internalizing behavior problems and this mediation effect was moderated by mothers' education.
A sample of 298 mothers and their 6-month infants was recruited for a 8-month longitudinal study. Mothers were asked to complete Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and Parenting Stress Index at Time 1 and Time 2. In addition, mothers completed the Infant-Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment in Time 2. The results indicated that Time 1 maternal depression predicted Time 2 maternal parenting stress after controlling mother's education and Time 1 maternal parenting stress(β=.14,p〈.05). However, Time 1 maternal parenting stress did not predict Time 2 maternal depression after controlling mother's education and Time 1 maternal depression(β=-.10,p〉.05). Maternal parenting stress had partial mediating effects on relations between maternal depression and infants' internalizing behavior problems. Specifi cally, maternal depression not only had a direct effect on infants' internalizing behavior problems, but also aggravated infants' internalizing behavior problems through maternal parenting stress. This mediation effect was moderated by mothers' education. For mothers with a low education, the total effect size was.41, 95% confi dence interval was [.17,.65], and the mean effect size was.14, almost one third of the total effect, 95% confi dence interval was [.02,.34]. In contrast, for mothers with a high education, the total effect size was-.02, 95% confi dence interval was [-.18,.14], and the mean effect size was.03, 95% confi dence interval was [-.02,.15]. The direct and mediation effects were found only in these mothers with low educational levels.
In summary, our results indicated mediational effects of maternal parenting stress and moderated effects of mothers' education in the relations between maternal depression and infants' internalizing behavior problems. Mothers' high education significantly reduced the negative effects of maternal parenting stress on infants' internalizing behavior problems. Researchers and professionals should provide particular assistance to depressed mothers with low educational levels in parenting practices, which will have long-term implications for children's psychological development.
