Sixteen children (M = 11 years) of agoraphobic parents were compared with 16 children of parents with no history of psychopathology, matched on age, gender and socioeconomic status. The majority (68%) of children of agoraphobic parents met DSM-III-R diagnostic criteria, anxiety disorders being most common. They reported more fear and anxiety and less control over various risks than did comparison children. Group's perceptions of the prevalence and their vulnerability to these risks did not differ. Agoraphobic mothers reported more separation anxiety than did comparison mothers, and maternal separation anxiety was negatively correlated with children's perceived control. Results are related to models of anxiety transmission.
对16名广场恐惧症患者的子女（平均年龄11岁）与16名父母无精神病理学病史的子女进行了比较，两组在年龄、性别和社会经济地位上相匹配。广场恐惧症患者的子女中，大多数（68%）符合DSM-III-R诊断标准，焦虑症最为常见。与对照组儿童相比，他们报告了更多的恐惧和焦虑，对各种风险的控制感更低。两组对这些风险的普遍性及其易感性的认知没有差异。广场恐惧症母亲报告的分离焦虑比对照组母亲更多，母亲的分离焦虑与孩子的感知控制呈负相关。研究结果与焦虑症传播模型相关。
