Parent-child interactions of aggressive and depressed/anxious clinic-referred children were observed during two different tasks: planning a vacation and discussing a conflict. Marked group differences were found as a function of the type of task, who was speaking (parent vs. child), and type of child psychopathology. Negative behaviors (e.g., Belittling and Blaming) were especially pronounced in the conflict task, whereas positive behaviors (e.g., Nurturing and Protecting) were more common in the planning task. Parents displayed other-directed behavior (e.g., Watching and Controlling), whereas children showed more self-directed behavior (e.g., Walling Off and Distancing), and patterns of child psychopathology interacted with task and speaker in theoretically important ways; for example, parents of aggressive children showed more Belittling and Blaming than their children in the conflict task, but not in the planning task. The findings highlight key factors that may need to be incorporated into models of parent-child interaction and child psychopathology.
