AnnotationResearch suggests that families have development histories which influence their responses to situations across the life course. This study examined the effect of family relationship histories on intergenerational affection and conflict between adult children and their parents, and how this affects parents' depressive symptoms. Path analysis based on matched reports of adult children and their parents revealed that parental behaviour early in life affects contemporary relationships between family members, which ultimately impacts parents' depressive symptoms.
