Assessing the link between parenting and anxiety in childhood
I am a psychology student at Lancaster University and am working on a research project looking at the parenting styles of anxious parents and comparing them to non-anxious parents, in a study entitled; Assessing the link between parenting and anxiety in childhood. Anxiety in childhood is a really hot topic in the research literature at the moment and requires a lot more work.
Under the supervision of Professor Charlie Lewis I am conducting a research study looking at parental descriptions of their interactions with their children.
If you:
* have a self-referred or diagnosed anxiety disorder
* are the parents of a child between 3 and 9 years old, and
* would be prepared to answer a few short questions
We would really like you to take part in our study. We are particularly keen to involve resident or involved fathers as well as mothers in this study.
Taking part in this study will give you the opportunity to contribute to research which may help the better understanding of the development of anxiety in childhood, which in turn may contribute to the development of parental interventions.
You can participate face to face, over the phone and on the internet.
If you have any queries at all, or would like to take part, please email me.
