Less understood are informant discrepancies in reporting parenting behaviors. The current study aimed to understand the nature of informant discrepancies surrounding maternal overprotection, the conditions under which these discrepancies exist, and how they contribute to child anxiety risk. Maternal overprotection, maternal reactivity, and observed maternal overprotection were examined when toddlers were 24-months old. Temperamental risk for anxiety was also investigated when toddlers were 24- and 36-months old. Results revealed a significant difference between maternal and paternal report of maternal overprotection, such that paternal report was higher than maternal report. Further, only paternal report was positively associated with observed overprotection. Maternal subjective and physiological reactivity did not moderate the relation between informant reports of maternal overprotection. Results also revealed a curvilinear relation between maternal self-report and child risk for anxiety. Observed overprotection did positively relate to child risk for anxiety. Taken together, these results suggest mothers may have difficulty reporting their own overprotection. We conclude that relying solely on maternal report of overprotective behavior may not accurately depict true maternal behavior. We instead propose the utilization of a multimethod approach to studying parenting behaviors. 2018-07-11 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1531256517843251 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1531256517843251 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
