Maternal Depression and Family Media Use: A Questionnaire and Diary Analysis
Open accessAbstract
We describe the association between postpartum depression and the quantity and content of infant media use. Households with depressed mothers viewed twice as much television as households with non-depressed mothers did, and depressed mothers appeared to derive comparatively greater pleasure from television viewing. Maternal depression was associated with an increased exposure to child-directed content by 6-9-month-old infants, although it was not associated with an increased exposure to adult-directed programming. Depressed mothers also reported being less likely to sit and talk with their children during television use or to consult outside sources of information about media. This increase in television exposure without corresponding parental involvement could negatively affect developmental outcomes.

Difficulties in mother-to-infant bonding could reduce the quality of parenting practices and could affect the rates of abusive behavior.
“In addition, difficulties in mother-to-infant bonding could reduce the quality of parenting practices37,53,130,137,145,146 and could affect the rates of abusive behavior.144”
From Consequences of maternal postpartum depression: A systematic review of maternal and infant outcomes (2019) · cites this paper as [146]
The Discussion reports that depressed mothers were less likely to talk with their infants during television viewing, supporting a narrower point about reduced parental interaction. It does not establish that difficulties in mother-to-infant bonding cause poorer parenting practices. The abusive-behavior clause carries a different citation and is not assessed here.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
