The Effects of Maternal Mood on Mother-Infant Interaction.

Zekoski, Ellen M.; And Others

Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, v15 n3 p361-78 Sep 1987

Effects of depressed mood on mother-infant interaction were studied in 30 mother-infant dyads using a mood induction procedure consisting of neutral or self-referent statements. Among results were that mothers in the depression induction condition were less successful in eliciting positive responses from their infants than were controls. (Author/JW)
