The following findings were no longer significant after performing the Bonferroni correction: (a) Task 1 HS predicting task 2 HS for single episode families; (b) Child SCC predicting Task 2 HS for recurrent depression families

Task 2 = Stressful interaction task; Observed mood (task 1) = Observed mood during the pleasant activity interaction task for each dependent variable; PCC = Primary control coping; SCC = Secondary control coping; DC = Disengagement coping; BDI-II = Beck Depression Inventory-II
