“…In the present paper we present a statistical model for the investigation of mutual influence within a social group. We chose the family for our social group as there is already a substantial literature on statistical models that test reciprocal influences in the family domain (Cui, Donnellan, & Conger, 2007;Elgar, Curtis, McGrath, Waschbusch, & Stewart, 2003;Gross, Shaw, & Moilanen, 2008). We use this literature to illustrate the difference between existing approaches and our own.…”

“…Utilizing genetically sensitive designs, however, this aggregation is found to be attributable mainly to genetic factors. Second, previous investigations of cross-lagged influences between parent and child have often included the contemporaneous residual correlation between mother and child behavior in the model (Elgar, Curtis, McGrath, Waschbusch, & Stewart, 2003), but have not separated the effects of unmeasured timevarying and time-invariant family characteristics. The implication of both of these issues is that once we account for the unobserved family circumstances that are positively associated with both maternal depression and child delinquency, we have no basis for a prediction about the directionality of cross-lagged effects between mothers and children.…”

Thus we can examine the extent to which a mother influences her child, as well as the way the child influences the mother's behavior over time. WITHIN-CLUSTER DYNAMIC EFFECTSOne of the challenges in the interpretation of correlational data is the isolation of influences that help us draw conclusions about causal mechanisms. For instance, the correlation in behavior between parents and children may be due to genes, environmental experiences, or a mixture of the two (Kaffman & Meaney, 2007;Plomin & Davis, 2009 There are several goals to this article. First, we briefly outline the methods that have been used previously for examining reciprocal processes. Such methods are based on growth curve and autoregressive cross-lagged models. We discuss the limitations of these methods for conclusions about causal mechanisms. Second, we introduce an analytic framework that allows for a more comprehensive and flexible examination of reciprocal influences than has been presented to date. The model allows for the inclusion of social groups of different sizes (including groups with only one dyad). We differentiate between reciprocal influences between individuals in a power hierarchy (parents and their multiple children), as well as individuals at the same level of power (e.g. siblings). We allow effects to depend on characteristics of individuals with different roles (e.g. parent and child). Effects of unmeasured factors at the occasion, individual and group levels are included. Third, we illustrate our approach with an analysis of the reciprocal effects of maternal depression and children's behavioral problems, using a dataset that includes up to three children per family.Our approach can be implemented in existing multilevel modelling software. WITHIN-CLUSTER DYNAMIC EFFECTS 5 A Review of Methods for Estimation of Reciprocal Parent-Child and Sibling EffectsPrevious studies into how the behavior of one family member affects another have been restricted to dyadic (or pairwise) relationships involving a parent-child (e.g. Elgar, Curtis, ). These studies have involved separate analyses for parent-child and sibling relationships using growth curve m...

Depressed mothers as informants on child behavior: Methodological issues

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. The purpose of this integrative review was to identify methodological challenges in research related to the debate. Data were extracted from 43 papers (6 theoretical, 36 research reports, and 1 instrument scoring manual). The analysis focused on the methodologies considered when using depressed mothers as informants. Nine key themes were identified and I concluded that researchers should incorporate multiple informants, identify the characteristics of maternal depression, and incorporate advanced statistical methodology. The use of a conceptual framework to understand informant discrepancies within child behavior evaluations is suggested for future research.

Previous research has shown that child-oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorders (CD) are associated with parental symptoms of depression, anxiety and/or stress, probably in a bidirectional relationship with mutual influences. It is, therefore, reasonable to assume that in child-centered treatment, a decrease in child-oppositional behavior problems constitutes (at least in part) a mechanism of change for a subsequent reduction in parental psychopathology. The aim of the present study (Clinical trials.gov Identifier: NCT01406067) was to examine whether the reduction in ODD symptoms due to child-based cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) led to a reduction in parental depression, anxiety and stress. Eighty-one boys (age 6-12 years) with a diagnosis of ODD/CD were randomized either to a cognitive behavioral intervention group or an educational play group (acting as control group). Mediation analyses were conducted using path analysis. The stronger reduction in child ODD symptoms in the CBT group compared to the control group led to a decrease in parental depression and stress, as indicated by significant indirect effects (ab = 0.07 and ab = 0.08, p < 0.05). The proposed model for mechanisms of change was, therefore, confirmed for two of the three outcome parameters. Parental psychopathology and stress can be modified by child-centered CBT. The preceding reduction in ODD symptoms acts as a mediator for at least some of the changes in parental depression and stress. However, due to some limitations of the study, other possible explanations for the results found cannot be completely ruled out and are, therefore, discussed.
