As a development‐enhancing or a risk‐promoting environment, coparenting may shape the association between maternal prenatal depressive symptoms and infant regulatory capacity. This study aimed to analyse the moderator role of coparenting cooperation and conflict in the association between maternal prenatal depressive symptoms and infant regulatory capacity at 3 months. The sample comprised 103 primiparous couples (N = 206 parents) and their 3‐month‐old infants (53.7% female). Mothers reported on depressive symptoms at the first trimester of pregnancy, and both parents reported on coparenting, and infant regulatory capacity at 2 weeks and 3 months postpartum. Higher levels of maternal prenatal depressive symptoms and higher levels of coparenting conflict reported by parents at 2 weeks postpartum were associated with lower infant regulatory capacity at 3 months. Coparenting conflict at 2 weeks postpartum accentuated the association between maternal prenatal depressive symptoms and infant regulatory capacity at 3 months. The results support a view of coparenting conflict as a risk‐promoting environment that can accentuate the association between maternal prenatal depressive symptoms and infant regulatory capacity. Infants in families with mothers with elevated prenatal depressive symptoms and with high levels of coparenting conflict may be at high risk of low regulatory capacity.

共同育儿冲突调节了母亲产前抑郁症状与婴儿调节能力之间的关联


作为一种促进发育或促进风险的环境，共同育儿可能会塑造孕产妇产前抑郁症状与婴儿调节能力之间的关联。本研究旨在分析共同育儿合作和冲突在 3 个月时母体产前抑郁症状与婴儿调节能力之间关系中的调节作用。样本包括 103 对初产夫夫妇 （N = 206 名父母） 和他们 3 个月大的婴儿 （53.7% 为女性）。母亲报告了妊娠早期的抑郁症状，父母双方都报告了共同育儿和产后 2 周和 3 个月的婴儿调节能力。父母在产后 2 周报告的更高水平的母体产前抑郁症状和更高水平的共同育儿冲突与 3 个月时婴儿调节能力较低相关。产后 2 周的共同育儿冲突加剧了产妇产前抑郁症状与 3 个月时婴儿调节能力之间的关联。结果支持将共同育儿冲突视为一种促进风险的环境的观点，它可以强调孕产妇产前抑郁症状与婴儿调节能力之间的关联。如果母亲的母亲产前抑郁症状加重且共同育儿冲突程度较高，则婴儿可能面临监管能力低下的高风险。
