Like parental depression, there is also evidence that parental anxiety may influence a parent’s report of childhood problems (De Los Reyes & Kazdin, 2005). For example, Frick and colleagues (Frick, Silverthorn, & Evans, 1994) found that in a sample of 41 clinic-referred children between the ages of 9 and 13, mothers tended to report more symptoms of anxiety disorders than did the child. This overreporting was systematically related to anxiety in the mother. Specifically, the more anxious the mother, the greater the over reporting of anxiety in the child. These authors also reported that maternal anxiety was not associated with over reporting of other types of maladjustment but seemed to be more specifically related to anxiety. They interpreted this pattern of results as being consistent with the possibility that anxious mothers project their anxiety symptoms onto their reports of anxiety in their children.
