侵入式养育与儿童焦虑呈正相关，尽管迄今为止对这种关系的研究主要局限于中产阶级家庭，很少使用纵向设计。随着几种主要的儿童焦虑干预措施强调减少父母的侵入性，关键是要确定父母的侵入性和儿童焦虑之间的联系是否广泛适用于所有经济手段的家庭，以及父母的侵入性是否前瞻性地预测儿童焦虑的发展。本研究采用潜在生长曲线分析法，评估了母亲的侵扰和经济手段对NICHD SECCYD的1，121名儿童（50.7%为男性）及其父母从1年级到15岁的儿童焦虑发展轨迹的交互作用。整体模型提供了良好的拟合，揭示了早期母亲的侵入性和经济手段并没有影响儿童焦虑的变化轨迹，从1年级到5年级是稳定的，然后从5年级到15岁下降。横断面分析还研究了家庭经济手段是否调节了第三和第五年级母亲的侵入性和儿童焦虑之间的同期关系。母亲的侵入性和儿童焦虑之间的关系是缓和的家庭经济手段为一年级学生，与较强的联系，发现较低的家庭经济手段的儿童，但不为第三和第五年级学生。无论是母亲的侵入性，也不是经济手段在一年级预测随后的变化，在整个童年的焦虑。研究结果有助于阐明母亲的侵入性与儿童焦虑的联系最大，并可以为有针对性的治疗工作提供信息。
Intrusive parenting has been positively associated with child anxiety, although examinations of this relationship to date have been largely confined to middle to upper middle class families and have rarely used longitudinal designs. With several leading interventions for child anxiety emphasizing the reduction of parental intrusiveness, it is critical to determine whether the links between parental intrusiveness and child anxiety broadly apply to families of all financial means, and whether parental intrusiveness prospectively predicts the development of child anxiety. This study employed latent growth curve analysis to evaluate the interactive effects of maternal intrusiveness and financial means on the developmental trajectory of child anxiety from 1st grade to age 15 in 1,121 children (50.7 % male) and their parents from the NICHD SECCYD. The overall model was found to provide good fit, revealing that early maternal intrusiveness and financial means did not impact individual trajectories of change in child anxiety, which were stable from 1st to 5th grade, and then decrease from 5th grade to age 15. Cross-sectional analyses also examined whether family financial means moderated contemporaneous relationships between maternal intrusiveness and child anxiety in 3rd and 5th grades. The relationship between maternal intrusiveness and child anxiety was moderated by family financial means for 1st graders, with stronger links found among children of lower family financial means, but not for 3rd and 5th graders. Neither maternal intrusiveness nor financial means in 1st grade predicted subsequent changes in anxiety across childhood. Findings help elucidate for whom and when maternal intrusiveness has the greatest link with child anxiety and can inform targeted treatment efforts.
