Facial Expressivity in Infants of Depressed Mothers.
Pickens, Jeffrey; Field, Tiffany
Developmental Psychology, v29 n6 p986-88 Nov 1993
Facial expressions were examined in 84 3-month-old infants of mothers classified as depressed, nondepressed, or low scoring on the Beck Depression Inventory. Infants of both depressed and low-scoring mothers showed significantly more sadness and anger expressions and fewer interest expressions than infants of nondepressed mothers. (Author/MDM)
