Face-to-Face Interactions of Postpartum Depressed and Nondepressed Mother-Infant Pairs at Two Months.
Cohn, Jeffrey F.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v26 n1 p15-23 Jan 1990
Studied the influence of depression on mother-infant interactions at 2 months postpartum in 24 depressed and 22 nondepressed mother-infant dyads. During structured interactions, depressed mothers were more negative and their babies less positive than in nondepressed dyads. Depressed dyads' reduced positivity was brought about through contingent responsivity. (RH)
