Abstract: This study was conducted among 301 children and their mothers at 6 rural kindergardens in Longnan city of Gansu province. The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale(CES-D), Maternal Parenting Style Questionnaire and Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) were used to investigate the current status of maternal depression, maternal responsiveness and pre-school children's social withdrawal. Results showed that: (1) The incidence rate of maternal depression is relatively high in rural area of northwestern China; (2) Maternal depression is significantly related to pre-school children's social withdrawal status. The higher the maternal depression score, the higher the pre-school children's social withdrawal score; (3) Maternal sensitivity and reactivity are significantly correlated with the pre-school children's social withdrawal. The higher the maternal sensitivity and reactivity score, the lower the score of pre-school children's social withdrawal; (4) Maternal depression and pre-school children's social withdrawal can be partially mediated by maternal reactivity.

Key words: rural area, maternal depression, maternal responsiveness, pre-school children's social withdrawal
