Abstract

This study tested two models for the indirect influence of mothers’ early adversity on maternal sensitivity:

Model A:

Mothers’ appraisal of infant temperament was hypothesized to mediate the influence of mothers’ early adversity and depression on maternal sensitivity
There would be no direct influence of maternal depression

Model B:

Mothers’ depression was hypothesized to have a direct influence on maternal sensitivity
Mothers’ perception of infant temperament would not mediate the influence of maternal depression on maternal sensitivity
