Abstract
We tested whether parenting practices mediate the relationship between parental adaptive and maladaptive emotion regulation (ER) and anxiety in their children. Maladaptive responses predicted inconsistent discipline practices and child anxiety per parent-report. Though parenting practices did not mediate ER effects, positive parenting and poor supervision predicted parent-reports of child anxiety.
