Abstract: This study examined whether maternal accommodation mediates the relation between maternal anxiety and child anxiety. Mothers and their 9-12-year-old children reported on their anxiety symptoms and parental accommodation. Maternal anxiety was associated with greater maternal accommodation, which in turn was linked to higher child anxiety, providing support for partial mediation.
