“…Childhood anxiety disorders and maternal anxiety are related (e.g., Cobham et al 1998, Francis and Chorpita 2011, Ollendick and Benoit 2012, but the mechanisms underlying this link are not well understood. This study tested the meditational role of family accommodation between maternal trait anxiety and child anxiety symptoms.…”

“…This fi nding suggests that perceiving that parents are less approving of risky cannabis use may be a protective factor among socially anxious young adults. Parents of socially anxious persons tend to be overprotective and overcontrolling (see Ollendick and Benoit, 2012). Thus, it may be that if such parents are perceived to disapprove of particular behaviors (in this case, risky cannabis use), socially anxious young people may be less likely to engage in such behaviors for fear of disappointing their parents.…”

Cannabis Use Behaviors and Social Anxiety: The Roles of Perceived Descriptive and Injunctive Social Norms

ABSTRACT. Objective: Individuals with greater social anxiety are particularly vulnerable to cannabis-related impairment. Descriptive norms (beliefs about others' use) and injunctive norms (beliefs regarding others' approval of risky use) may be particularly relevant to cannabis-related behaviors among socially anxious persons if they use cannabis for fear of evaluation for deviating from what they believe to be normative behaviors. Yet, little research has examined the impact of these social norms on the relationships between social anxiety and cannabis use behaviors. Method: The current study investigated whether the relationships of social anxiety to cannabis use and use-related problems varied as a function of social norms. The sample comprised 230 (63.0% female) current cannabis-using undergraduates. Results: Injunctive norms (regarding parents, not friends) moderated the relationship between social anxiety and cannabis-related problem severity. Post hoc probing indicated that among participants with higher (but not lower) social anxiety, those with greater norm endorsement reported the most severe impairment. Injunctive norms (parents) also moderated the relationship between social anxiety and cannabis use frequency such that those with higher social anxiety and lower norm endorsement used cannabis less frequently. Descriptive norms did not moderate the relationship between social anxiety and cannabis use frequency. Conclusions: Socially anxious cannabis users appear to be especially infl uenced by beliefs regarding parents' approval of risky cannabis use. Results underscore the importance of considering reference groups and the specifi c types of norms in understanding factors related to cannabis use behaviors among this vulnerable population. (J.

“…Ftiological models often emphasize the reciprocity of the parent-child relationship (Chorpita & Barlow, 1998), drawing attention to the interplay between child anxiety and parent factors such as parental psychopathology, maladaptive (i.e., "anxiety enhancing") parenting behaviors, and parental anxious cognition (e.g., information processing biases) in an understanding of the pathway to the development of childhood anxiety (Ginsburg & Schlossberg, 2002;Ollendick & Benoit, 2012). Research on the role of parental factors associated with anxiety in children is important for several reasons.…”

The present study examined the association between parental anxious self-talk, parenting behaviors, and youth anxious self-talk. Parents and youth ages 7 to 14 (M = 10.17; N = 208; 53% male) seeking treatment for anxiety were evaluated for anxiety symptoms, youth anxious self-talk, parental anxious self-talk, and youth-perceived parenting behavior. Youth and parental anxious self-talk were assessed by both child and parent self-reports; youth-perceived parenting behaviors were assessed by youth-reports. Parenting behaviors included separate ratings of paternal and maternal (a) acceptance, (b) psychological control, and (c) firm/behavioral control. Correlational analyses revealed that maternal anxious self-talk, but not paternal anxious self-talk, was significantly associated with youth's anxious self-talk. Maternal anxious self-talk had an inverse association with youth-perceived maternal acceptance, but was not associated with youth-perceived maternal psychological or behavioral control. Higher youth-perceived maternal acceptance was significantly associated with lower youth anxious self-talk. Youth-perceived maternal acceptance partially mediated the association between mother's anxious self-talk and youth's anxious self-talk. However, this mediation effect disappeared when taking into account youth depressive symptoms. Results are discussed in relation to clinical implications and future directions in research.
