“…These findings are consistent with other research on maternal depression which has revealed a pattern of greater negativity in mother-child interactions among dyads of depressed mothers and their offspring (e.g. Cohn et al, 1990; Field et al, 1990; Gordon et al, 1989; Hamilton, Jones, & Hammen, 1993). However, they extend this literature by documenting specific alterations in the socialization of negative emotion in families with depressed mothers.…”

This study examines how mothers with and without a history of childhood-onset depression respond to their 3–9 year-old children’s emotions. Mother-child dyads included 55 offspring of mothers with a history of childhood-onset depressive disorders and 57 offspring of never-depressed mothers. Mothers with a history of childhood depression were less likely than were control mothers to respond in supportive ways to their children’s negative emotions and were more likely to magnify, punish, or neglect their children’s negative emotions. Magnification, neglect, and punishment of children’s negative emotions were concurrently associated with children’s internalizing symptoms, and neglect and punishment were associated with internalizing over a one year follow-up. Maternal neglect of children’s negative emotion was positively associated with later internalizing symptoms for children who already had higher internalizing symptoms at the initial assessment. Findings suggest that atypical socialization of emotion may be one mechanism in the development of internalizing disorders.

“…For example, depressed mothers made more guilt-inducing, critical, and harsh statements to their 8-to 16-year-old children during a conflict discussion (Hamilton et al 1993) compared to healthy women. Offspring of parents who engaged in negative parenting behaviors were…”

Relations among past maternal depressive disorder, current depressive symptoms, current maternal interaction behaviors, and children's adjustment were examined in a sample of 204 women and their young adolescent offspring (mean age = 11.86, SD = 0.55). Mothers either had (n = 157) or had not (n = 57) experienced at least one depressive disorder during the child's life. Mothers and children participated in a problem-solving task, video-taped for later coding. Mothers with current depressive symptoms and those with histories of chronic/severe depressive disorders displayed fewer positive behaviors toward their children; mothers with current depressive symptoms also showed more negative behaviors with their children. The relation between mothers' depression history and their behavior during the interaction with their child was partially mediated by mothers' current mood state. Moreover, high levels of maternal negativity and low levels of positivity during the problem-solving task were related to children's externalizing problems. Maternal positivity partially mediated the relation between maternal depression and children's externalizing symptoms. These findings highlight the importance of providing parenting interventions for depressed mothers.

“…To feel affection for this particular infant and to be fulfilled by the attainment of this new parenting role creates an emotional climate conducive to attachment. Some studies also claim that the parents’ attitudes toward their baby play an important role in the development of the infant’s sense of self‐worth ( Bowlby 1969, Hamilton et al . 1993 ).…”

A concept analysis, the clarification of a concept, is the first step towards building the foundations of nursing theory, research and practice. As a relevant concept for nurses working with childbearing families, parent-infant attachment is an important part of the body of nursing knowledge. Wilson's method of concept analysis was used to generate antecedents, critical attributes and consequences of parent-infant attachment, highlighting the need to refine measurements of this concept.
