We examined the factor structure of the 28-item Dementia Mood Assessment Scale (DMAS), an instrument to assess depressive symptoms in older adults with cognitive impairment, in a cohort of 165 community-dwelling elderly with varying degrees of cognitive impairment. Factor analysis using principal components analysis and varimax rotation was performed to explore the presence of subscales and examine construct validity. A five-factor structure involving all 28 items accounting for 63.2% of the variance in the DMAS scores was derived. Factors were named: Depressed Affect, Environmental Interaction, Diurnal Patterns, Agitation/Suspicion, and Somatic Indicators. This factor structure reflects the often differing presentations of depressive symptoms in older adults with varying degrees of cognitive function and established the construct validity of the DMAS in this population. We conclude that the DMAS may be used for differentiated clinical assessment of depressive symptoms along major dimensions of depressive illness in this cohort of elderly.

This research examined the intergenerational transmission of depressive symptoms from mothers to their adult children through two succeeding mediators: a child’s perception of emotional availability from their mothers, and a child’s social skills. To do so, this study integrated principles from the integrative model of risk from depressed mother to offspring, attachment theory, and the social skills deficit theory of depression. Child reports of depressive symptoms, perceived emotional availability from mothers, and social skills were assessed as well as mother reports of depressive symptoms from 224 (N = 448) mother-child dyads. Results showed that maternal depressive symptoms were significantly related to child perceptions of emotional availability. Moreover, emotional availability was positively related to child social skills, which in turn was negatively related to child depressive symptoms. Additionally, the indirect effect from maternal depressive symptoms to child depressive symptoms through the mediators was significant. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
