Two-hundred introductory psychology students and their parents participated in a study of parenting perceptions and trait anxiety. Using student perceptions of parenting, this study replicates and extends research on the relation between parental control/autonomy granting, rejection/acceptance, and trait anxiety. The study was notable for incorporating data concerning both maternal and paternal influence in the model. Based upon prior research, parental control, parental rejection, and parent anxiety were expected to be associated with student anxiety. Further, perceptions of maternal parenting were expected to emerge as stronger correlates of student anxiety than paternal factors. Results indicated that for both females and males, perceptions of maternal control and paternal acceptance proved to have the strongest relations with student anxiety. However, large differences between males and females emerged in the model, with maternal control and paternal acceptance proving to be significant correlates only for female undergraduates. Maternal, but not paternal, self-reports of trait anxiety were related to student trait anxiety, but the relation was marginally significant in this sample.
两百名心理学入门学生及其家长参与了一项关于养育观念和特质焦虑的研究。本研究利用学生对养育的看法，复制和扩展了关于父母控制/自主授予、拒绝/接受与特质焦虑之间关系的研究。该研究的显著特点是在模型中纳入了有关母亲和父亲影响的数据。基于先前的研究，预计父母控制、父母拒绝和父母焦虑与学生焦虑有关。此外，与父亲因素相比，对母亲养育的看法预计将成为学生焦虑的更强相关因素。结果表明，对于女性和男性来说，对母亲控制和父亲接受的看法与学生焦虑的关系最强。然而，在该模型中出现了男女之间的巨大差异，仅对女本科生而言，母亲控制和父亲接受才是显著的相关因素。母亲而非父亲的特质焦虑自评与学生的特质焦虑有关，但在该样本中这种关系仅具有边缘显著性。
