symptoms of depression predict subsequent poor martial quality in women and poor marital quality predicts subsequent depression.

Finally, in considering temperament as a vulnerability factor for
depression, it is important to note that in addition to behavioural inhibition several theorists have developed temperament models that link additional temperamental styles, particularly Positive Emotion (PE) and Negative Emotion (NE) to
depression.58 Many cross-sectional studies have reported that youth and adults with depressive
symptoms exhibit diminished levels
of PE and elevated levels
of NE59, 60,61 and the combination
of these have been associated with concurrent depressive
symptoms in clinical62, 63 and community samples.61, 64,65 Furthermore, longitudinal studies have found that lower levels
of PE60, 66,67 and higher level
of NE in childhood68 - 70
predict the development
of depressive
symptoms and disorders.
As a result, they tend to spend more time onlooking (watching other children without joining) and hovering on the edge
of social groups.8, 11 There is some evidence to suggest that young depressive children also experience social impairment.12 For example, children who display greater depressive
symptoms are more likely to be rejected by peers.10 Moreover, deficits in social skills (e.g., social participation, leadership) and peer victimization
predict depressive
symptoms in childhood.13, 14 There is also substantial longitudinal evidence linking social withdrawal in childhood with the later development
of more significant internalizing problems.15, 16,17 For example, Katz and colleagues18 followed over 700 children from early childhood to young adulthood and described a pathway linking social withdrawal at age 5 years — to social difficulties with peers at age 15 years — to diagnoses
of depression at age 20 years.
We urgently need to know more about how and when
symptoms of anxiety and
depression in young children
predict future mental health problems, and if so, at what stage we should attempt to intervene.
Likewise, the simple slopes analysis in the case
of depressive
symptoms showed that poorer self - reported vision
predicted greater depressive symptomatology when relationship satisfaction was low (B = 1.57, t = 5.62, p <.001), but poor vision was unrelated to
symptoms of depression for high relationship satisfaction (B = 0.40, t = 1.28, p = n.s.).

Several smaller studies have investigated the relationship
of paternal and child mental health, and they have reported related findings among children
of different ages than those in the study reported in this article.14, — , 21 One study found an association between paternal
depression and excessive infant crying.45 Another study found that children aged 9 to 24 months with depressed fathers are more likely to show speech and language delays, 19,21 whereas another study reported that children aged 2 years with depressed fathers tended to be less compliant with parental guidance.17 Among children aged 4 to 6 years, paternal
depression has been found to be associated with increases in problems with prosocial behaviors and peer problems.15 Only 1 other study we are aware
of was population based; it was from England and investigated related issues among much younger children, 23 demonstrating that both maternal and paternal depressive
symptoms predicted increased child mood and emotional problems at 6 and 24 months
of age.

Building on the assumption that elevated levels
of negative emotions, diminished levels
of happiness, and elevated emotional variability are all indices
of emotion dysregulation, the results add to a growing body

symptoms (Cohen, Gunthert, Butler, O'Neill, & Tolpin, 2005), whereas daily positive mood has been found to buffer the effects
of daily stress on
depression (Wichers et al., 2007) and to
predict «human flourishing» (Fredrickson & Losada, 2005).
We therefore tested whether children's temperament (effortful control and negative affect), social skills, child psychopathology, environmental stressors (life events), parental accuracy
of predicting their child's emotion understanding (parental accuracy), parental emotional availability, and parental
depression predict changes in depressive
symptoms from preschool to first grade.
Finally, in the main set
of analyses, we tested the adjustment
of a mediation model, with maternal and paternal
depression predicting coparenting support and conflict, which in turn
predicted child
symptoms assessed by both parents.
