Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 37-4 (October 2025) . - p.1769-1781 Titre : Longitudinal pathways between parent depression and child mental health in families of autistic children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jessica Greenlee, Auteur ; Daniel BOLT, Auteur ; Kristin LITZELMAN, Auteur ; Sigan L. HARTLEY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1769-1781 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  behavior problem  depression  mental health  parent-child Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic children and their parents are at risk for mental health problems, but the processes driving these connections are unknown. Leveraging three data cycles (spaced M = 11.76 months, SD = 2.77) on 162 families with autistic children (aged 6-13 years), the associations between parent-child relationship quality (warmth and criticism), child mental health problems, and parent depression symptoms were examined. A complete longitudinal mediation model was conducted using structural equation modeling. Father depression mediated the link between child mental health problems and father critical comments (? = ?0.017, p = 0.018; CI [?.023 - ?.015]). Father report of child mental health problems mediated the association between father depression and father critical comments (? = 0.016, p = 0.040; CI [0.003-0.023]) as well as the association between father positive remarks and father depression (? = ?0.009, p = 0.032; CI [?0.010 - ?0.009]). Additionally, father positive remarks mediated the connection between father depression and child mental health problems (? = 0.022, p = 0.006; CI [0.019-0.034]). No mediation effects were present for mothers. Findings highlight that the mental health of parents and autistic children are intertwined. Interventions that improve the parent-child relationship may reduce the reciprocal toll of parent and child mental health problems.
