Correlations Between Parent's Depressive Symptoms, Children's Problem Behaviors, Word Use, and Parent Reports of Children's Internalizing and Externalizing Symptoms

Child Variable	Mother Depressive Symptoms at Time 1	Father Depressive Symptoms at Time 1
EAR Behaviors
Crying	.33^† / .36^* (.24)	.35^* / .20 (.03)
Mad	.17 / .32^† (.30)	.47^** / .10 (.01)
Whining	.19 / .01 (−.01)	.33^† / −.04 (−.06)
Watching TV	.15 / .07 (−.03)	.37^* / .39^* (.24)
EAR Word Use
Negative Emotion Words	−.07 / .42^* (.43^*)	.14 / .36^* (.36^*)
CBCL
Internalizing symptoms	.23 / .32^† (.24)	.20 / .04 (−.08)
Externalizing symptoms	.33^† / 37^* (.21)	−.04 / −.04 (−.04)

Note. Time 1 (first correlation) reflects measurement at baseline; Time 2 (second correlation) reflects measurement at 1-year follow up, with numbers in parentheses reflecting changes from Time 1 to Time 2 (Time 2 child behavior controlling for Time 1 child behavior). CBCL correlations are based on separate reports from mothers and fathers (e.g., reflecting correlation between mothers' depressive symptoms and mothers' reports of children's internalizing symptom)
