Book excerpt: Discrepancy among informant reporting can have significant implications on intervention and diagnostic/clinical decisions. The nature in which parental behaviors and family dynamics may impact the relation between maternal depression and informant discrepancies in reporting child behavior and temperament has not yet been investigated. Using an archival dataset, participants included 50 female caregivers who had children (ages 3 to 6 years) attending a Head Start preschool and 51 female caregivers who had children in the same age range attending a non-Head Start preschool. Both mothers and teachers completed measures assessing the variables of interest. First, it was expected that the Head Start group would have higher levels of maternal depression, home chaos, negative parenting behaviors, child internalizing symptoms, child externalizing symptoms, and negative affectivity as well as lower positive parenting behaviors, surgency, and effortful control based on both parent and teacher report. Additionally, it was expected that maternal depressive symptoms would positively relate to parent-teacher discrepancy on internalizing symptoms, externalizing symptoms, and negative affectivity, whereas it would negatively relate to parent-teacher discrepancy on surgency and effortful control. It was expected that positive parenting behaviors would attenuate the relation between depressive symptoms and discrepancy, whereas home chaos and negative parenting behaviors would exacerbate that relation. To address the existing literature's mixed findings on the role of SES in over-reporting biases, the present study examined type of preschool (Head Start vs. non-Head Start) as a moderator of the relation between maternal depressive symptoms and discrepancy. Results yielded several significant correlations among variables of interest. Maternal depressive symptoms significantly predicted only internalizing discrepancy, which additionally held when accounting individually for home chaos, negative parenting, positive parenting, and preschool type. Depressive symptoms also marginally related to externalizing discrepancy at the zero-order level. Positive parenting positively correlated with externalizing discrepancy and effortful control discrepancy. Among explored moderators of the relation between depressive symptoms and discrepancy, only the interaction between preschool type and depressive symptoms marginally predicted effortful control discrepancy. Though the selected variables neither attenuated nor strengthened the relation between depressive symptoms and parent-teacher discrepancy, the current findings warrant several areas for future directions.

This book was released on 2009-10-28 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression is a widespread condition affecting approximately 7.5 million parents in the U.S. each year and may be putting at least 15 million children at risk for adverse health outcomes. Based on evidentiary studies, major depression in either parent can interfere with parenting quality and increase the risk of children developing mental, behavioral and social problems. Depression in Parents, Parenting, and Children highlights disparities in the prevalence, identification, treatment, and prevention of parental depression among different sociodemographic populations. It also outlines strategies for effective intervention and identifies the need for a more interdisciplinary approach that takes biological, psychological, behavioral, interpersonal, and social contexts into consideration. A major challenge to the effective management of parental depression is developing a treatment and prevention strategy that can be introduced within a two-generation framework, conducive for parents and their children. Thus far, both the federal and state response to the problem has been fragmented, poorly funded, and lacking proper oversight. This study examines options for widespread implementation of best practices as well as strategies that can be effective in diverse service settings for diverse populations of children and their families. The delivery of adequate screening and successful detection and treatment of a depressive illness and prevention of its effects on parenting and the health of children is a formidable challenge to modern health care systems. This study offers seven solid recommendations designed to increase awareness about and remove barriers to care for both the depressed adult and prevention of effects in the child. The report will be of particular interest to federal health officers, mental and behavioral health providers in diverse parts of health care delivery systems, health policy staff, state legislators, and the general public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study examined the specific predictions of the Depression->Distortion theory with 579 children diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and their parents, who were participants in a randomized clinical trial for children with ADHD. The study focused on the role of general maternal psychopathology and clinical depression in mothers' biased and exaggerated reporting of child behavior problem. A secondary aim examined if any maternal biases mediated the relationship between maternal depression and negative parent-child relationships. Baseline data on demographics, child and maternal psychopathology, maternal stress, childrearing practices, and laboratory observations of parent-child interactions were collected and analyzed. Results showed that: (1) Both general maternal psychopathology and depression were associated with elevated maternal ratings of child behavior problems that were not corroborated by other informants. (2) Most of these effects held after accounting for child demographic variables and observations of child behavior problems. (3) Maternal depression was a unique predictor of maternal biases in ratings of child internalizing problems after accounting for child demographics, child behavior problems, maternal anxiety, maternal stress, and general maternal psychopathology. (4) Maternal depressive biases did not mediate the relationship between maternal depression and parent-child relationships. Discussion focused on the study's implications for clinical assessment of children, the role of maternal stress, conceptualization of clinical depression, and development trajectory of children with a depressed parent.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on family influences on adolescents' aggression has revealed a relation between maternal depressive symptoms and adolescents' frequency of aggression. A recent cross-sectional study of these relations (Pugh & Farrell, 2011) indicated that maternal depressive symptoms had a significant relation with teachers', students, ' and mothers' reports of adolescents' aggression. This effect was mediated by parenting practices and family functioning. The cross-sectional designs used in previous studies examining relations between maternal depressive symptoms and adolescents' aggression make it difficult to draw clear inferences regarding the causal nature of this association. The present study used longitudinal data across five waves of data from a large multi-site study to explore reciprocal relations between maternal depressive symptoms and adolescents' aggression and the role of parenting practices and family functioning as a mediator of this relation. Participants were 521 mother-adolescent dyads (64% Male; 69% African American) from 18 schools from four different sites throughout the United States representing a range of socioeconomic backgrounds. About 40% of the mothers met criteria for clinically elevated depressive symptoms. Data were collected across five waves from fall of the sixth grade to spring of the eighth grade. Maternal depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale and adolescents' aggression was assessed using adolescents' reports on the Problem Behavior Frequency Scales and mothers' and teachers' ratings on the Behavior Assessment System for Children. Analyses revealed positive correlations between maternal depressive symptoms and adolescents' aggression within each time point (p

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

Download or read book The Connection Between Maternal Depression Parenting and Child Externalizing Disorders written by Nicole Lynn Shay and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child externalizing disorders were evaluated based on parent and teacher report as ADHD and a combined ODD/CD construct. As hypothesized, child externalizing disorders were related to maternal depression. The findings of the current study indicate that the relation is not direct and that maternal depression, mediated by trait irritability, leads to poor parenting characterized by inconsistent discipline, and that this poor parenting leads to the development of child ODD and CD. Moreover, whether the index of maternal depression was based on current dimensional data or lifetime history of maternal depression, the results of the analyses supported the hypothesized relation between maternal depression and child ODD/CD. However, an unexpected direct relation between current maternal depression and child ADHD was found, whereas a lifetime history of maternal depression was unrelated to child ADHD. Nonetheless, the relation between maternal depression and child ADHD did not follow the same pattern as the relation between maternal depression and child ODD/CD. Findings suggest that maternal irritability and inconsistent parenting are central to the putative link between maternal depression and child ODD/CD and that depressed mothers should be treated in an effort to reduce the risk for development of child ODD and CD.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world, rates of depression are greater among females than males, and this gender gap emerges during adolescence and persists throughout adulthood. Until recently, women's health has centered on the topic of reproductive health, because research focused almost exclusively on biological and anatomical differences distinguishing men and women. Social and behavioral research on gender differences in health now employs multiple disciplinary frameworks and methodologies, and researchers seek to understand the higher rates of specific diseases and disorders in women and men. Symptoms of depression and the diagnosis of depression are more prevalent in women, and research that focuses on biological, psychological, and sociopolitical explanations for this gender gap should now be brought together to better inform efforts at treatment and prevention. Women and Depression is a handbook that serves to move toward a more integrative approach to women's depression in particular and mental health for all more generally.

This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone who has ever been close to a seriously depressed child has undoubtedly been affected by the youngster's vulnerability, misery, and pain. Indeed, it is much like caring for a child who is in physical pain. For the child in the depths of depression, no activity is fun, nothing can be enjoyed, and no one can provide enough consolation or comfort. At times, the youngster may cry or whimper. There may be fits of defiance or rage and sometimes withdrawal into a numb, sullen silence. A child in this state tries the patience of parents and siblings. Remedies of every sort are tried, including gifts, punishments, bribes, lectures, pleading, and a host of others. Such efforts occasionally provide temporary relief, but more often they seem to make matters worse. Commonly, there is an emotional wall of anger and frustration between a depressed child and other fumily members that may inevitably lead to further isolation and withdrawal. If too much time passes without their being helped, many depressed children and adolescents come to believe that suicide offers the only real relief for their pain. Currently, there is a Depression Awareness Week that includes free screening at participating health and mental health settings around the United States and is designed to identify depression in adults, suggesting that society's awareness of depression and psychiatric disorders is focused to a large extent on adults.
