摘要：The aim of this study is to ascertain whether there are any diff erences in the
parenting practices experienced by two groups of children with, respectively,
low-risk and high-risk scores for anxiety. A second objective is to determine
which parenting variables are linked with the presence or absence of this kind of
internalizing problem. From a sample of 550 subjects, we selected 180 children
between 3 and 12 years of age who met a set of specifi c criteria as having either high
risk scores (90 children) or low risk scores (90 children) for anxiety, according to
the Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC). After applying the ParentChild
Relationship Inventory (PCRI-M) to both parents, we carried out a binomial
logistic regression analysis which resulted in a prediction model for 83.9% of
the sample. The model was based on the following parenting variables: paternal
involvement and support for autonomy, and maternal parental support, satisfaction
with parenting, involvement, limit setting and role orientation. The paper also
discusses the usefulness of our results for the planning of family intervention
strategies. The information obtained has broad applications for interventions with
families with anxious children, since parents’ responses to the instruments used
revealed patterns of behaviour that can be modifi ed in both parents and children.
