Parenting stress mediates the longitudinal effect of maternal depression on child anxiety/depressive symptoms
2021, Journal of Affective DisordersCitation Excerpt :Another limitation of the study is that the child anxiety/depressive symptoms were assessed using parent reports as clinicians’ measures were not available in the current dataset. As shown by Renouf and Kovacs (1994), depressed mothers tend to overrate their children's depressive symptoms. In addition, the child anxiety and depressive symptoms were assessed together based on the data availability.
Using latent profile and transition analyses to understand patterns of informant ratings of child depressive symptoms
2018, Journal of School PsychologyThe effect of maternal psychopathology on parent-child agreement of child anxiety symptoms: A hierarchical linear modeling approach
2015, Journal of Anxiety DisordersCitation Excerpt :While some studies have found a positive association between parental anxiety and reporting discrepancies (Briggs-Gowan, Carter, & Schwab-Stone, 1996; Frick, Silverthorn, & Evans, 1994; Manassis et al., 2009), others have found no effect (Krain & Kendall, 2000; Reuterskiöld et al., 2008). Further, parental depression has also been theorized as affecting parents’ reports of their children's anxiety (Berg-Nielsen, Vika, & Dahl, 2003; Renouf & Kovacs, 1994). Indeed, mothers self-reporting higher levels of depression have been found to report higher severity of their children's anxiety (Briggs-Gowan et al., 1996; Garber, Van Slyke, & Walker, 1998).
Assessment of self-reported negative affect in the NIH Toolbox
2013, Psychiatry ResearchCitation Excerpt :Several studies have shown that parents and children often disagree, especially when the phenomena in question are internal and not directly observable, i.e., sadness, fear (Kolko and Kazdin, 1993; Yeh and Weisz, 2001; Salbach-Andrae et al., 2009). Additionally, parent proxy reports can be influenced by the parent’s own symptoms (Fergusson et al., 1993; Renouf and Kovacs, 1994; Garber et al., 1998). Emotion “can be manifested as brief states, as longer but still transitory moods, and as traits or patterns of expression that characterize an individual over significant periods of the lifespan” (Goldsmith, 1993).
