“…In addition to acknowledging and testing child‐elicited, bidirectional, and transactional effects, the field is in an enlivening time of testing and uncovering the moderators and mediators of these effects (Pérez‐Edgar, LoBue, & Buss, 2021). Thus, additional arrows and paths can augment the DDC model as work continues to uncover the boundaries and mechanisms of the existing child‐directed paths.…”

Behavioral inhibition in early life is among the robust predictors of later anxiety problems, particularly social anxiety, one of the most pressing mental health concerns across the lifespan. However, the predictive relation is far from perfect. Fox et al. reviewed the literature and their Detection and Dual Control framework to emphasize the role of moderators in the etiology of social anxiety. In doing so, they exemplify a developmental psychopathology approach. This commentary aligns the core features of Fox et al.'s review and theoretical model with specific tenets of developmental psychopathology. These tenets provide a structure for integrating the Detection and Dual Control framework with other developmental psychopathology models and guiding future directions for the field.

“…Finally, based on the idea that parents and children may mutually affect each other, studies have examined bidirectional relations between parent and child temperament and/or anxiety (see Pérez‐Edgar et al., 2021, for a review of a special issue on this topic). As discussed by Pérez‐Edgar et al., some studies find evidence for bidirectional relations, and some do not.…”

“…Although much of the work on BI‐caregiver relations examined either the direct influence of parents on children's fear and anxiety development or the moderating influence of parents on the BI‐anxiety association, children are theorized to be active agents in their social world and may themselves elicit certain parenting behaviors from their parents (Pérez‐Edgar, LoBue, & Buss, 2021). Thus, it is important to better understand if, when, and to what extent children elicit specific parenting behaviors from their parents (child‐to‐parent effects), whether these parenting behaviors in turn increase or decrease children's risk for later anxiety (transactional effects), and/or whether parent–child behaviors mutually affect one another (bidirectional effects).…”

Behavioral Inhibition is a temperament identified in the first years of life that enhances the risk for development of anxiety during late childhood and adolescence. Amongst children characterized with this temperament, only around 40 percent go on to develop anxiety disorders, meaning that more than half of these children do not. Over the past 20 years, research has documented within-child and socio-contextual factors that support differing developmental pathways. This review provides a historical perspective on the research documenting the origins of this temperament, its biological correlates, and the factors that enhance or mitigate risk for development of anxiety. We review as well, research findings from two longitudinal cohorts that have identified moderators of behavioral inhibition in understanding pathways to anxiety. Research on these moderators has led us to develop the Detection and Dual Control (DDC) framework to understand differing developmental trajectories among behaviorally inhibited children. In this review, we use this framework to explain why and how specific cognitive and socio-contextual factors influence differential pathways to anxiety versus resilience.

“…Child anxiety development occurs in a dynamic system in which children and their environments reciprocally influence each other over time (Pérez-Edgar et al, 2021a). The parenting environment, in particular, provides a crucial regulatory context that fosters developmental continuity (Sameroff, 2014).…”

Construct Validation for Toddler-Solicited Maternal Comforting Behavior as Relevant to Family Accommodation and Child Anxiety Risk

Reciprocal parent-child interactions are theorized to play a crucial role in child anxiety development and maintenance. The current study tested whether toddler-solicited maternal comforting behavior in low-threat (mildly challenging and novel) situations may be a unique, early indicator of anxiety-relevant interactions. Controlling for other types of maternal comforting behavior, a path model tested solicited comforting behavior in a low-threat context in relation to both family accommodation (FA) and child anxiety symptoms, which may subsequently continue to predict each other over time. Identifying the emergence of this cycle in early childhood could bolster anxiety development theory and preventative interventions. Mother-child dyads (n = 166) of predominantly non-Hispanic/Latinx European American and socioeconomically diverse backgrounds were assessed at child ages 2, 4, and school-age via laboratory observation and maternal report. A longitudinal path model showed that solicited comforting observed in a low-threat situation at age 2 predicted mother-reported FA and child anxiety symptoms at age 4, above and beyond unsolicited comforting behavior and comforting behavior in a high-threat context. Furthermore, FA and child anxiety were bidirectionally related between age 4 and school-age assessments. Results suggest that toddler-solicited comforting in low-threat situations may be a unique indicator of child-directed anxiogenic family processes. The current study also expands the FA literature by providing empirical evidence for a bi-directional relation between anxiety and accommodation in young children.
