In Study 1, an online survey of Indigenous participants from across Canada ( N\u2009=\u2009498) demonstrated a curvilinear relation between the extent to which parents talked about their negative IRS experiences and the severity of depressive symptoms among offspring, among whom symptoms were particularly pronounced with more frequent communication. This relation was mediated by greater perceived discrimination. A similar, but inverse, association was found when parental communications conveyed positive construals of their IRS experiences. Study 2 ( N\u2009=\u2009134) further demonstrated an association between direct communications from IRS survivors and offspring wellbeing in that, either the absence of, or especially frequent communications were related to more severe depressive symptoms among offspring. However, hearing about parental IRS experiences from someone other than the parent was not related to offsprings\u2019 depressive symptoms. Qualitative analyses indicated that direct communications from parents tended to provide excessive detail, whereas parental silence was associated with speculation and feelings of isolation or resentment among offspring of IRS survivors. Taken together, the results suggest that either insufficient or excessive parental communication about trauma might undermine offspring wellbeing, whereas moderate levels of communication that provide positive meaning and promote cultural pride or diminish perceptions of personal discrimination could be beneficial. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1363461519832240","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,12]],"date-time":"2019-03-12T14:58:05Z","timestamp":1552402685000},"page":"304-320","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Intergenerational communication regarding Indian Residential Schools: Implications for cultural identity, perceived discrimination, and depressive symptoms"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"Kimberly","family":"Matheson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Ottawa Institute of Mental Health Research and Carleton University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amy","family":"Bombay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dalhousie University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kaylyn","family":"Dixon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Ottawa Institute of Mental Health Research"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hymie","family":"Anisman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Carleton University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1363461519832240","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2005.03.023"},{"key":"bibr2-1363461519832240","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/1099-9809.12.3.493"},{"key":"bibr3-1363461519832240","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4757-5567-1_17"},{"key":"bibr4-1363461519832240","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/016502598384397"},{"key":"bibr5-1363461519832240","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00325481.1972.11713319"},{"key":"bibr6-1363461519832240","volume-title":"Designing social research: The logic of anticipation","author":"Blaikie N.","year":"2010"},{"key":"bibr7-1363461519832240","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/a0021373"},{"key":"bibr8-1363461519832240","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1363461511410240"},{"key":"bibr9-1363461519832240","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1363461513503380"},{"key":"bibr10-1363461519832240","unstructured":"Bombay, A., Matheson, K. & Anisman, H.
