This study was designed to explore the role of perceived parenting behavior in the relationship between parent and offspring anxiety disorders in a high-risk sample of adolescents. We examined the relationship between parental and child anxiety disorders and tested whether perceived parenting behavior acted as a mediator between these variables. Analyses were performed on a high-risk sample of 816 fifteen-year-olds drawn from a birth cohort in Queensland, Australia. Parental depression and income were covaried. Maternal anxiety disorder significantly predicted the presence of anxiety disorders in children; the association between paternal anxiety disorder and child anxiety disorder was not significant. There was no evidence that perceived parenting played a mediating role in the association between mother and child anxiety disorders. These results replicate earlier studies' findings of elevated rates of anxiety disorders among the offspring of anxious parents, but only when the child's mother is the anxious parent.
本研究旨在探讨在青少年高风险样本中，感知到的养育行为在父母与子女焦虑症关系中的作用。我们研究了父母焦虑症与儿童焦虑症之间的关系，并测试了感知到的养育行为是否在这些变量之间起中介作用。对从澳大利亚昆士兰州一个出生队列中抽取的816名15岁青少年的高风险样本进行了分析。对父母的抑郁和收入进行了协变量分析。母亲的焦虑症显著预测了儿童焦虑症的存在；父亲的焦虑症与儿童焦虑症之间的关联不显著。没有证据表明感知到的养育行为在母婴焦虑症之间的关联中起中介作用。这些结果重复了早期研究中焦虑父母的后代焦虑症发病率升高的发现，但仅当孩子的母亲是焦虑的父母时。
