Chronicity of Maternal Depressive Symptoms, Maternal Sensitivity, and Child Functioning at 36 Months.
Developmental Psychology, v35 n5 p1297-1310 Sep 1999
Related maternal depressive symptoms obtained when infants were 1, 6, 15, 24, and 36 months old to child functioning at 36 months. Found that women with chronic symptoms were least sensitive during mother/child play from infancy through 36 months. Maternal sensitivity accounted for group differences in school readiness and verbal comprehension and moderated differences in expressive language and cooperation. (Author/KB)
