Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 51-7 (July 2010) Titre : Does childhood anxiety evoke maternal control? A genetically informed study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Thalia C. ELEY, Auteur ; Jennifer Y.F. LAU, Auteur ; Alice M. GREGORY, Auteur ; Maria NAPOLITANO, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Anxiety maternal-control parenting twins gene–environment-correlation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Despite theoretical and empirical support for an association between maternal control and child anxiety, few studies have examined the origins of this association. Furthermore, none use observer-ratings of maternal control within a genetically informative design. This study addressed three questions: 1) do children who experience maternal control report higher anxiety levels than those who do not?; 2) to what extent do genetic and environmental factors influence maternal control and child anxiety?; 3) to what extent do genetic and environmental factors influence the associations between child anxiety and maternal control? Method: Five hundred and thirty 8-year-old children (from 265 twin pairs) and their mothers were observed participating in an 'etch-a-sketch' task from which maternal control was rated. Children rated their anxiety using the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders. Results: Children who experienced maternal behaviour rated as 'extreme control' reported higher anxiety levels than those who did not. Maternal control was highly heritable (A = .63), high self-rated anxiety less so (h2g = .36). The overlap between high child anxiety and maternal control was primarily due to shared genetic factors. Conclusions: These results suggest that maternal control is likely to have been elicited by children with high levels of anxiety.
