理论模型强调父母在儿童焦虑的发展和维持中的作用，但对经验文献的回顾为现有理论提供了不同的支持。为了弄清父母在儿童焦虑中扮演的角色，我们对47项研究进行了荟萃分析，以测试父母与儿童焦虑之间的关系。在这些研究中，父母教养只占儿童焦虑变化的4%。调节测试表明，方法学因素（即如何概念化和评估儿童焦虑和养育子女）可能是文献中发现不一致的原因。此外，我们的分析显示，父母的控制与孩子焦虑的关系比父母的拒绝更密切。父母拒绝和控制的特定子维度与儿童焦虑的关系不同（例如，自主授予占变异的18%，但温暖< 1%），表明努力分解养育维度可能为理论发展和未来的研究提供信息。然而，总的来说，父母教养和孩子焦虑之间的适度联系表明，要了解孩子焦虑的起源，需要确定除父母教养之外的其他因素，这些因素占了差异的大部分。(c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
Theoretical models emphasize the role of parenting in the development and maintenance of child anxiety, but reviews of the empirical literature have provided mixed support for existing theories. To help clarify the role parenting plays in childhood anxiety we conducted a meta-analysis of 47 studies testing the association between parenting and child anxiety. Across these studies, parenting accounted for only 4% of the variance in child anxiety. Moderator tests indicated that methodological factors (i.e., how child anxiety and parenting were conceptualized and assessed) may be a source of inconsistent findings within the literature. In addition, our analyses revealed that parental control was more strongly associated with child anxiety than was parental rejection. Specific subdimensions within parental rejection and control differed in their association with child anxiety (e.g., autonomy-granting accounted for 18% of the variance, but warmth < 1%), indicating that efforts to disaggregate parenting dimensions may inform theory development and future research. Overall, however, the modest association between parenting and child anxiety suggests that understanding the origins of children's anxiety will require identifying factors other than parenting that account for the bulk of the variance.
