Abstract
We examined associations between parents’ depression symptoms and physiological reactivity with their children’s internalizing and externalizing problems. Findings show that parental depression incurred greater risk for youth, and physiological reactivity moderated the association between parental depression symptoms and children’s internalizing and externalizing psychopathology.
