The research is aimed at examining the interaction of mothers with high postpartum depression and their 6~8 months old infants. Research subjects are 223 pairs of mothers and their infants that answered both EPDS and K-PSI questionnaires when the infants were 6~8 months old; they were selected from a total of 676 women in 26-36 weeks pregnancy who lived in Seoul or Geong-gi Province, visited for checkups before delivery, and agreed voluntarily with the research purpose in two obstetrics and gynecology clinics of general hospitals located in Seoul that were participating in the Childhood Asthma and Allergic Diseases Cohort Study(COCOA). Thirty pairs of mothers and infants that showed high postpartum depression and another 30 pairs which sowed low postpartum depression were selected as the final research subjects from 185 couples who visited a laboratory and agreed with developmental assessment and video-recording (Still-face Procedure). The group of mothers with high postpartum depression showed less positive emotions than the mothers with low postpartum depression. Infants from the highly depressive mothers showed less positive emotional expressions than their counterparts. At the still-face stage, mothers with low postpartum depression could not cast their eyes at their infants longer than the mothers with high postpartum depression. At the pre-interaction stage, the infants of mothers with low postpartum depression cast their eyes for a long time on spots other than their mothers and themselves in the mirror. At the post-interaction stage, the infants of mothers with high postpartum depression cast their eyes for a long time on spots other than their mothers and themselves in the mirror. Also, the group of highly depressive mothers showed monotonous intonations without mimicking baby talks.
