A MEDIATION MODEL Brumariu, Laura Elena attachment parenting anxiety Attachment patterns (secure, ambivalent, avoidant, and disorganized) and parenting (acceptance and psychological control) are related to internalizing symptoms. We examined the unique and combined contribution of attachment and maternal parenting practices to anxiety symptoms in preadolescence. In addition, we assessed whether children’s cognitive distortions (catastrophizing, overgeneralizing, and personalizing) explained these relations. Eighty-seven 10 to 12 year-old children completed questionnaires of attachment and parental practices and an attachment story-stem interview. Results suggested that security, but not maternal acceptance, is a protective factor for developing anxiety. In addition, more disorganized or ambivalent children, and those experiencing higher levels of psychological control, reported more anxiety symptoms. Attachment and maternal rearing behavior each had a unique effect on anxiety level, and cognitive distortions mediated some of these effects. 2007-07-16 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1184424205 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1184424205 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
