Abstract: The current study investigated whether daughters of depressed mothers differ from daughters of nondepressed mothers in reporting more negative affect in a stressful situation, and in their confidence to successfully overcome a stressor. In addition to a normal control group, a group of college females with mothers with a chronic medical illness (both with and without accompanying symptoms of depression) were also included. Differences among the groups in perceptions of maternal parenting behavior, parental marital turmoil, and self-perceptions were also examined as potentially important contributors to levels of self-efficacy and stress “reactivity.”
