Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Several studies suggested that household income was not the most important factor in determining the quality of their children. It seems that family income did not affect directly to the quality of the children but by means of behavioural parenting of the parents based on their psychological condition. Several studies found that parental depression could affect both positive and negative impact on the quality of the children. This research aims to know the influence of mother depression and father depression against cognitive score of children in Indonesia. METHODS: This study used the data from IFLS 2014 with the unit of analysis of children aged 7 to 14 years old who still have both parents. The number of samples in this study amounted to 5,474 children. This study used a regression model of OLS analysis methods with the children’s cognitive score as the dependent variable and father depression score and mother depression score as the main variables. RESULTS: Mother depression had a significant effect on children’s cognitive score (?= -0,004874
