Parental rearing as a function of parent's own, partner's, and child's anxiety status: Fathers make the difference (2008, methodology): “A meta-analysis by McLeod, Wood, and Weisz (2007) revealed a medium to strong relationship between parental over control and negativity and child anxiety, but the association of control with child anxiety was stronger than negativity (resp. d 0.52 and 0.41).”
From Parental Involvement to Children's Mathematical Performance: The Role of Mathematics Anxiety (2013, background): “…that parenting practices play a small but significant role in the developmental course of children’s anxiety disorder–related behaviors (e.g., McLeod et al., 2007; Wood et al., 2003), and indeed there is evidence that parenting practices related specifically to parent–child educational…”
Overprotective Parenting, Social Anxiety, and External Locus of Control: Cross-sectional and Longitudinal Relationships (2009, background): “For example, recent meta-analyses have illustrated that high parental control is associated with various forms of child anxiety (McLeod et al. 2007a), and parental control and rejection are associated with child depression ( McLeod et al. 2007b ).”
Perceived Psychological Control and Anxiety in Early Adolescents: The Mediating Role of Attributional Style (2014, background): “These results build on a large body of research regarding child-rearing practices and anxiety in youth, which has emphasized links between perceptions of parental control and anxiety disorders (See McLeod et al. 2007, for a review).”
The Relationships Among Parental Anxiety, Parenting, and Children’s Anxiety: The Mediating Effects of Children’s Cognitive Vulnerabilities (2014, background): “These results are well in line with research showing that controlling styles of parenting are more clearly connected to childhood anxiety than a supportive and warm parenting style (McLeod et al. 2007).”
The New Friends Vignettes: Measuring parental psychological control that confers risk for anxious adjustment in preschoolers (2009, background): “…overprotection and paternal critical control each predicted two of the three measures of children’s adjustment, with magnitudes of association that were comparable to those reported in a recent meta-analysis of the relations between parenting and children’s anxiety problems (McLeod et al., 2007a).”
The Association Between Coparenting and Child Adjustment: A Meta-Analysis (2010, background): “Because available meta-analyses on the association between parenting and child psychological problems found that parenting accounted for a relatively small proportion of variance in child externalizing and internalizing problems ( McLeod, Weisz, & Wood, 2007 ; McLeod, Wood, & Weisz, 2007 ; Rothbau”
Association Between Mindful Parenting and Adolescents’ Internalizing Problems: Non-judgmental Acceptance of Parenting as Core Element (2015, background): “In contrast, higher levels of parental control seem to be related to higher levels of internalizing problems (McLeod et al. 2007a, b; Reitz et al. 2006).”
Mathematics Anxiety in Young Children: An Exploratory Study (2013, background): “Others have discussed the notion of a societal aversion to mathematics (e.g., Ginsburg, 1997), and research has shown that parenting practices play a role in the development and maintenance of children’s anxiety (e.g., McLeod et al., 2007; Mellon & Moutavelis, 2011; Wood et al., 2003).”
Examining the association between parenting and childhood depression: a meta-analysis. (2007, background): “…influential theories posit that parenting has a powerful impact on child problem behavior, but two meta-analytic reviews suggest that parenting may actually account for relatively little variance in child anxiety (McLeod et al., 2007) and child externalizing problems (Rothbaum & Weisz, 1994).”
Parental Psychological Control and Childhood Anxiety: The Mediating Role of Perceived Lack of Control (2011, background): “For example, a meta-analysis of 47 studies measuring the associate between parenting and childhood anxiety found that parental control accounts for 6% of the variance in childhood anxiety, a medium effect ( McLeod et al. 2007 ).”
Parental Anxiety, Parenting Behavior, and Infant Anxiety: Differential Associations for Fathers and Mothers (2015, background): “…to supplement the study on the associations between challenging parenting behavior, parental anxiety, and infant anxiety, as the meta-analysis by McLeod et al. (2007) showed that parenting had a larger effect on child anxiety when using observations compared to questionnaire measures of…”
Associations of Parenting Dimensions and Styles with Internalizing Symptoms in Children and Adolescents: A Meta-Analysis (2017, background): “McLeod et al. (2007b) did not find a moderating effect of child age, and van der Bruggen et al. (2008) even observed that associations between parental control and child anxiety were larger in early adolescence than in childhood.”
