Abstract: Mothers with depressive symptoms more frequently report behavioral problems among their children than non-depressed mothers leading to a debate regarding the accuracy of depressed mothers as informants of children’s behavior.

Finally, no study differentiates between the effects of parental past versus current mood disorders on the prevalence of their children's psychopathology.…”

However, the effect of maternal bias has been shown to account for only a small proportion of the variance in ratings of child behavior (Youngstrom et al 2003).…”
