What influences parental controlling behaviour? The role of parent and child trait anxiety
TLDR
In this paper, the relative contribution of child and parent trait anxiety on paternal and maternal controlling behavior was examined, and it was found that higher mother and father trait anxiety was associated with lower levels of parental control.Abstract:
The relative contribution of child and parent trait anxiety on paternal and maternal controlling behaviour was examined. Thirty-seven children, aged 8-11 years, completed two difficult Tangram puzzles, one with their father and one with their mother. Videotapes of the parent-child interactions were rated on parental control and child dependent and withdrawn behaviour. Results indicated that, opposite to expectations, higher mother and father trait anxiety was associated with lower levels of parental control, and that the relation between parent trait anxiety and parental control was curvilinear. Furthermore, a significant stronger effect between child trait anxiety and parental control was found for boys than for girls. Moreover, more child withdrawal during the parent-child interaction was related to more parental control. The findings offer new insights, which may guide future theories on child and parent anxiety and parental control. Specifically, the role of parent and child gender need further conceptualisation and research.read more

TL;DR: This paper investigated whether the treatment effect of traditional cognitive behavioural therapy may be enhanced by adding a parental component, however, randomised controlled trials have not shown unequivocal support for this assumption.

Unique Roles of Mothering and Fathering in Child Anxiety; Moderation by Child's Age and Gender
TL;DR: Higher levels of parental autonomy granting is found to be related to higher levels of anxiety for younger elementary school-aged children and for adolescents, the association between paternal over control and anxiety was stronger for older adolescents (age > 15).

Cognitive, affective, and behavioral characteristics of mothers with anxiety disorders in the context of child anxiety disorder
TL;DR: It is suggested that maternal anxiety disorder is associated with reduced tolerance of children's negative emotions and may interfere with the maintenance of a positive, supportive mother-child interaction under conditions of stress and, as such, this may impede optimum treatment outcomes.

Parenting and social anxiety: fathers' versus mothers' influence on their children's anxiety in ambiguous social situations.
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of parenting in child social anxiety was examined in an information processing experiment and the relative weight that children in general, and high versus low socially anxious children in particular, put on fathers' versus mothers' signal about whether a social situation is safe or a threat.

TL;DR: Initial support is provided for the view that parental socialization practices have effects on children's emotional and social competence and that the socialization process is bidirectional, including parental negative emotionality and negative reactions to children's expression of emotion.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 47 studies testing the association between parenting and child anxiety revealed that parental control was more strongly associated with child anxiety than was parental rejection, and efforts to disaggregate parenting dimensions may inform theory development and future research.
