焦虑母亲的养育方式，特别是威胁信息的传递，被认为是重要的，在他们的孩子的风险为社会焦虑障碍（SAnxD），和母亲的叙述有关潜在的社会威胁可以阐明这一贡献。母亲叙述他们的学龄前4至5岁的孩子，通过一本关于开始上学的图画书，在社交焦虑（N = 73）和非焦虑（N = 63）的母亲进行了评估。通过娃娃游戏（DP）评估学校的儿童代表性。一个学期后，母亲（儿童行为量表[CBCL]）和教师（教师报告表）报告儿童内化问题，并通过母亲访谈评估儿童SAnxD。这些变量之间的关系，婴儿的行为抑制，和附件，进行了检查。社交焦虑的母亲表现出更多的负面（更高的威胁归因）和更少的支持（较低的鼓励）的叙述比对照组，和他们的孩子的DP代表SAnxD和CBCL分数更不利。高叙事威胁预测儿童SAnxD;低鼓励预测负儿童CBCL分数，特别是行为抑制儿童，教师报告表分数和DP表示。在安全依恋儿童中，CBCL评分和SAnxD风险分别受到母亲焦虑和威胁归因的影响。低鼓励介导的母亲焦虑对儿童DP的代表性和CBCL分数的影响。母亲的叙述受到社交焦虑的影响，并导致不良的儿童结局。
Anxious mothers' parenting, particularly transfer of threat information, has been considered important in their children's risk for social anxiety disorder (SAnxD), and maternal narratives concerning potential social threat could elucidate this contribution. Maternal narratives to their preschool 4- to 5-year-old children, via a picture book about starting school, were assessed in socially anxious (N = 73), and nonanxious (N = 63) mothers. Child representations of school were assessed via doll play (DP). After one school term, mothers (Child Behavior Checklist [CBCL]) and teachers (Teacher Report Form) reported on child internalizing problems, and child SAnxD was assessed via maternal interview. Relations between these variables, infant behavioral inhibition, and attachment, were examined. Socially anxious mothers showed more negative (higher threat attribution) and less supportive (lower encouragement) narratives than controls, and their children's DP representations SAnxD and CBCL scores were more adverse. High narrative threat predicted child SAnxD; lower encouragement predicted negative child CBCL scores and, particularly for behaviorally inhibited children, Teacher Report Form scores and DP representations. In securely attached children, CBCL scores and risk for SAnxD were affected by maternal anxiety and threat attributions, respectively. Low encouragement mediated the effects of maternal anxiety on child DP representations and CBCL scores. Maternal narratives are affected by social anxiety and contribute to adverse child outcome.
