TY - JOUR PY - 1988// TI - Trait anxiety and parental child-rearing behavior: Support as a moderator variable? JO - Anxiety research A1 - Kohlmann, Carl-Walter A1 - Schumacher, Albrecht A1 - Streit, Reinhold SP - 53 EP - 64 VL - 1 IS - 1 N2 - Abstract Based on central assumptions of the social support literature and on formulations concerning the construction of competence and consequence expectancies, a model for the interaction of maternal and paternal child-rearing behavior in the development of children's trait anxiety is presented. Hypotheses concerning this model are tested empirically; 160 boys and 169 girls (aged 12?14 years) responded to the ?Erziehungsstil-Inventar? (?Child-Rearing Inventory?), which serves as a measure of child-rearing styles as perceived by the child, as well as to a German adaptation of the ?State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children?. General relations between the variables were analyzed by means of product-moment correlations, whereas moderator effects, specifically, were subjected to analyses of variance. Trait anxiety was mainly associated with parental inconsistency. Predicted interactions of maternal and paternal child-rearing behavior could be partly confirmed.
