- Summary:
- Little work has been conducted on the impact of fathers' social-emotional functioning over time on children's socioemotional and cognitive functioning. The bulk of research on children's social-emotional outcomes has concentrated on mothers and has largely neglected fathers. As fathers become more involved with child care, it becomes increasingly important to understand the influence of their mental health on children. Growth mixture modeling analyses in the current study failed to uncover unobserved developmental subpopulations of fathers' changing depressive, anger, and anxiety symptoms during their children's primary school years. Regression analyses revealed that the association between parents' psychology and child behavior varied based on the informant of child behavior. Ancillary analyses attempted to explain the informant inconsistencies by including all of the informants' reports in a single model and testing a causal relationship between parent symptoms and the error terms associated with parent ratings. Structural equation models indicated a modest effect of both fathers' and mothers' depression, anger, and anxiety symptoms on distortion of the error terms associated with children's problem behavior ratings. These results suggest that parental psychopathology symptoms lead to a perceptual bias in child ratings and cause modest overreporting of problem behaviors.
