Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to predict anxiety in 2½-year-olds based on maternal anxiety and the child's inhibited temperament, while exploring the role of maternal sensitivity.
- 83 mothers and their children participated, with maternal and child anxiety assessed through maternal reports and observations of maternal responses to children's fear.
- Results showed that higher maternal sensitivity generally decreased child anxiety, but for highly inhibited children, too much maternal sensitivity led to increased anxiety, highlighting a complex relationship.
