这项研究追求三个目标。第一个目标是使用具有代表性的社区样本探索6至12岁儿童的焦虑轨迹。第二个目标是评估在幼儿园评估的某些行为特征之间的联系（即，注意力不集中、多动、攻击性和低亲社会性）和这些轨迹。第三个目标是确定母亲养育子女的某些方面（即，温暖和纪律）可以缓和这些特征和焦虑轨迹之间的关联。2，000名儿童（1，001名男孩，999名女孩）的人口样本参加了这项纵向研究。发展轨迹分析使我们能够确定四个轨迹组：低，低增长，高下降，和高焦虑组。此外，多项逻辑回归揭示了儿童有发展高焦虑症状的风险（即，高组），特点是社会家庭逆境，注意力不集中，低亲社会性在课堂上。在这份档案中也发现了多动症，但只针对那些接触到几乎没有情感温暖的母亲的孩子。最后，母亲的高度纪律性增加了属于高焦虑组的几率。研究结果进行了讨论，探讨焦虑，行为特征和养育子女之间的关联在童年时期的研究。
This study pursued three goals. The first goal was to explore children's trajectories of anxiety from age 6 to 12 using a representative community sample. The second goal was to assess the link between certain behavioral characteristics assessed in kindergarten (i.e., inattention, hyperactivity, aggressiveness, and low prosociality) and these trajectories. The third goal was to determine whether certain aspects of maternal parenting (i.e., warmth and discipline) could moderate the association between these characteristics and the trajectories of anxiety. A population sample of 2,000 children (1,001 boys, 999 girls) participated in this longitudinal study. Developmental trajectory analyses allowed us to identify four trajectory groups: low, low-increasing, high-declining,, and high anxiety groups. Moreover, multinomial logistic regressions revealed a profile of children at risk of developing high anxiety symptoms (i.e., high group), characterized by sociofamily adversity, inattention, and low prosociality in the classroom. Hyperactivity was also found in this profile, but only for children exposed to a mother who showed little affective warmth. Finally, mothers' high level of discipline increased the odds of belonging to the high anxiety group. The results are discussed in relation to studies examining the association among anxiety, behavioral characteristics, and parenting during childhood.
