From Anxious Temperament to Disorder: The role of the parent- child interaction.

提出了三项研究。第一项研究是在两年多的时间里，对一大群受约束和不受约束的学龄前儿童进行父母行为（过度参与，鼓励回避）的调查。目的是确定父母的行为是否会使受抑制的孩子更容易患上焦虑症。第二项调查焦虑儿童的父母与非临床儿童的互动以及非临床儿童的父母与焦虑儿童的互动。预计焦虑儿童将从非临床母亲那里获得更多帮助。第三项研究的是患有焦虑症的父母与孩子的互动。可以预料的是，患有焦虑症的母亲会过度介入，而不管孩子是否焦虑。

Three studies are proposed. The first examines parent behaviour (overinvolvement, encouragement of avoidance) in a large group of inhibited and uninhibited preschoolers over two-years. The aim is to determine whether parent behaviour places an inhibited child at greater risk of developing an anxiety disorder. The second examines parents of anxious children interacting with non-clinical children and parents of non-clinical children interacting with anxious children. It is expected that anxious children will elicit more help from non-clinical mothers. The third examines anxiety-disordered parents interacting with their children. It is expected that anxiety-disordered mothers would be overinvolved regardless of the child's anxiety.
