Parent Mindfulness and Child Outcome: The Roles of Parent Depressive Symptoms and Parenting

Abstract  

The purpose of this study was to examine pathways in a model which proposed associations among parent mindfulness, parent
depressive symptoms, two types of parenting, and child problem behavior. Participants’ data were from the baseline assessment
of a NIMH-sponsored family-group cognitive-behavioral intervention program for the prevention of child and adolescent depression
(Compas et al., 2009). Participants consisted of 145 mothers and 17 fathers (mean age = 41.89 yrs, SD = 7.73) with a history
of depression and 211 children (106 males) (mean age = 11.49 yrs, SD = 2.00). Analyses showed that (a) positive parenting
appears to play a significant role in helping explain how parent depressive symptoms relate to child externalizing problems
and (b) mindfulness is related to child internalizing and externalizing problems; however, the intervening constructs examined
did not appear to help explain the mindfulness-child problem behavior associations. Suggestions for future research on parent
mindfulness and child problem outcome are described.
