| Popis: | BACKGROUND: Depression is a highly prevalent, debilitating disorder that runs in families. Yet, empirical support for bidirectional mechanisms linking mother-adolescent depression symptoms remains limited. This study examined longitudinal bidirectional relations among emotion regulation (ER) constructs and depressive symptoms among mother-adolescent dyads over time. Pathways for girls and boys were explored separately, given extant research on sex differences in the intergenerational transmission of depression. METHODS: Adolescent (n=232; M=15.02 years, SD=0.95; 44% female)-mother dyads, drawn from a longitudinal study on the development of risky behaviors, completed annual assessments of depressive symptoms and facets of ER over 4 years. Panel modeling examined lagged and cross-lagged effects of mother-adolescent depressive symptoms and ER constructs over time, in a multigroup model of boys and girls. RESULTS: Among girls, higher baseline maternal depression scores predicted increased adolescent ER difficulties (std. est.=−.42, p.001, .19]) for girls, but not boys. CONCLUSIONS: Implications for interrupting intergenerational cycles of depressive symptoms and emotion dysregulation are discussed. |
