Childhood Anxiety: Prenatal Maternal Stress and Parenting in the QF2011 Cohort
2021
Overview
In this study we examine whether specific ‘anxiety-maintaining’ parenting behaviors (i.e., overinvolvement and/or negativity) exacerbate the effects of disaster-related prenatal maternal stress (PNMS) on school-age anxiety symptoms. Women (N = 230), pregnant at the time of the 2011 Queensland Floods, reported on their experience of flood-related PNMS (objective hardship, cognitive appraisal, subjective distress). At 4-years, mother–child dyads were coded for maternal overinvolvement and negativity during a challenging task; at 6-years mothers reported on their children’s anxiety symptoms and their own mood, N = 83. Results showed no associations between PNMS and 6-year anxiety, nor did parenting moderate these effects. Poorer maternal concurrent mood was associated with greater anxiety symptoms at 6 years (β = 0.52). Findings suggest maternal concurrent mood, but not exposure to disaster-related PNMS nor ‘anxiety-maintaining’ parenting behaviors at preschool age, is related to school-age anxiety symptoms.
