CRUVINEL, Miriam  e  BORUCHO, Evely. Depressive symptoms in children and family environment. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2009, vol.3, n.1, pp.87-100. ISSN 1982-1247.

This paper investigates family environment variables such as parental supervision, involvement and support of children with and without depressive symptoms. The sample was composed of six mothers of 3rd and 4th grade basic education students. Of the six mothers, three were of children with depressive symptoms and three were of children without symptoms. Data were collected by means of Brazilian version of the Child Depression Inventory (CDI) and of the Family Environment Resources Inventory (RAF). Results evinced differences between the two groups in parental supervision mainly those related to children’s outside school activities, school tasks as well as scheduled activities. Parental supervision problems were far more present in the families of children with depressive symptoms. Insofar as healthy and safe family relationships contribute to the emotional adjustment of the children, it is recommended that preventive programs targeted at parents be designed.
