Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess whether mothers' depressive symptoms predict or affect the quality and quantity of internal state talk they used when engaging with their children in a shared book reading setting. This study was based off a previously conducted study (BELLE project) and similarly looked at children at birth and again as preschoolers (4.5 years old) with mothers from low socioeconomic statuses. The use of internal state talk is crucial when preparing your child for their future in education and this study particularly considers this internal state talk to see if mothers with depressive symptoms will show differences in the amount of their word use and importantly, with mothers and children from low-SES communities, where much research has not been done. The results suggest that there is no significant relationship between maternal depressive symptoms and the amount of internal state words used.
