Results We found significant associations among maternal internalizing (anxiety, depressive) symptoms when their children were ages 3 and 5?years, child FAA at age 5?years, and child internalizing symptoms at age 7?years. There was a significant mediation effect, whereby greater maternal anxiety and depressive symptoms at age 3?years were significantly associated with FAA (greater relative right cortical activation) in children at age 5?years, which, in turn, was significantly associated with greater child internalizing symptoms at age 7?years (ps?

The role of children?s neural responses to emotional faces in the intergenerational transmission of anxiety symptomatology / Finola E. KANE-GRADE in Development and Psychopathology, 37-3 (August 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 37-3 (August 2025) . - p.1659-1675 Titre : The role of children?s neural responses to emotional faces in the intergenerational transmission of anxiety symptomatology Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Finola E. KANE-GRADE, Auteur ; Dashiell SACKS, Auteur ; Carter R. PETTY, Auteur ; Wanze XIE, Auteur ; Charles A. NELSON, Auteur ; Michelle BOSQUET ENLOW, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1659-1675 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Child internalizing symptoms  EEG  emotion processing  event-related potential (ERP)  maternal anxiety Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children?s neural responses to emotions may play a role in the intergenerational transmission of anxiety. In a prospective longitudinal study of a community sample of N = 464 mother-child dyads, we examined relations among maternal anxiety symptoms when children were infants and age 5 years, child neural responses to emotional faces (angry, fearful, happy) at age 3 years, and child internalizing symptoms at age 5 years. Path analyses tested whether amplitudes of event-related potential (ERP) components selected a priori (N290, Nc, P400) (a) mediated associations between maternal anxiety symptoms in infancy and child internalizing symptoms at 5 years and/or (b) moderated associations between maternal anxiety symptoms at 5 years and child internalizing symptoms at 5 years. Mediating effects were not observed for any of the ERP measures. Nc and P400 amplitudes to angry faces and Nc amplitude to happy faces moderated the effect of maternal anxiety at 5 years on child internalizing symptoms at 5 years. Effects were not related to maternal depressive symptoms. Differential sex effects were not observed. The findings suggest that larger neural responses to emotional faces may represent a biological risk factor that amplifies vulnerability to the development of internalizing symptomatology in young children exposed to maternal anxiety.
