Overview

Analysis of anxiety trajectories in childhood and their links to maternal distress and parenting practices.

Key Points

  • Social anxiety symptoms significantly increased with age, especially in girls during early adolescence.
  • Findings indicated a decline in obsessive-compulsive and harm avoidance symptoms, with girls showing a slower decrease.
  • Higher parental autonomy support correlated with lower increases in children's social anxiety symptoms.
  • Maternal anxiety levels were found to be linked to increases in generalized anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
