Mothers' Mental Games Increase Depressive Symptoms In Daughters, Study
Finds

ScienceDaily (Nov. 26, 2008) — A new study in the journal Family
Relations examined the effects of a mother’s psychological control on
the risk for depression of African American adolescents.

Researchers found that girls whose mothers played mental games with
them like making them feel guilty or withdrawing expressions of love
reported much higher levels of depressive symptoms and lower levels of
personal agency.

Psychological control did not affect the psychological well-being of
boys.
