TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Parental depression and economic disadvantage: the role of parenting in associations with internalizing and externalizing symptoms in children and adolescents JO - Journal of child and family studies A1 - Reising, Michelle A1 - Watson, Kelly A1 - Hardcastle, Emily A1 - Merchant, Mary A1 - Roberts, Lorinda A1 - Forehand, Rex A1 - Compas, Bruce E. SP - 335 EP - 343 VL - 22 IS - 3 N2 - This study examined the effects of parental depression symptoms, economic disadvantage, and parenting behaviors in 180 children and adolescents of depressed parents (ages 9-15 years-old). Analyses revealed that while parental depression symptoms, economic disadvantage, and disrupted parenting behaviors were related to children's internalizing and externalizing symptoms, disrupted parenting (e.g., intrusive, neglectful parenting) accounted for the association of parental depressive symptoms and economic disadvantage with children's symptoms. This study provides evidence that disrupted parenting may be a common or shared process through which both parental depression and economic disadvantage are associated with children's internalizing and externalizing problems.
