Abstract

Although parental expressed emotion (EE) is linked to child depression, few studies have examined which specific aspect of EE (e.g., emotional over-involvement (EOI) vs. criticism) drives this relationship. In a sample of school-aged children with and without ADHD, EOI but not criticism predicted depression symptoms.
