Affect, Cognition, and the Emergence of Self-Knowledge in the Toddler Offspring of Depressed Mothers.

Cicchetti, Dante; Rogosch, Fred A.; Toth, Sheree L.; Spagnola, Mary

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v67 n3 p338-62 Dec 1997

Compared visual self-recognition in toddlers of depressed (DM) and nondepressed mothers (NDM). Found that DM toddlers showing self-recognition were more likely than NDM toddlers to display nonpositive affect. DM toddlers not showing self-recognition and who shifted affect in the postrouge condition were less securely attached to mothers with less positive affect than DM toddlers who showed self-recognition.
