This study examined the associations between maternal anxiety, behaviors, and expectations and children's self-evaluations of distress, coping, and performance during a stressful performance evaluation task. Seventy-five mothers (38 clinically anxious and 37 nonanxious) along with one of their children aged 6-14 (52.0% female; 78.7% Caucasian) were videotaped while preparing the child to deliver a speech about themselves. Child and parent assessments were obtained before and after the speech, and independent coders rated maternal behavior during the speech preparation. Maternal anxiety and behaviors accounted for a greater proportion of variance in children's self-evaluations than did maternal expectations, such that children of mothers who reported higher task anxiety and demonstrated more overcontrol and anxious behavior during the task evaluated themselves more negatively. These findings extend the literature by providing information about the relative associations between maternal factors and children's self-evaluations within the context of an in vivo stressful situation.
本研究考察了母亲的焦虑、行为和期望与儿童在压力情境下的自我评估之间的关系，包括痛苦、应对和表现。75 位母亲（38 位临床焦虑，37 位非焦虑）和她们 6-14 岁的孩子（52.0%为女性；78.7%为白人）被录像，录制内容为孩子准备发表关于自己的演讲。在演讲前后，对孩子和家长进行评估，并对演讲准备过程中的母亲行为进行独立编码。母亲的焦虑和行为比母亲的期望更能解释孩子的自我评估，即报告任务焦虑较高且在任务中表现出更多过度控制和焦虑行为的母亲的孩子，对自己的评价更消极。这些发现通过提供有关在现实生活中压力情境下母亲因素与儿童自我评估之间相对关联的信息，扩展了文献。
