When a child is anxious or irritable, how might my response change the next interaction?

This article examines whether parental psychological control and children’s irritability or anxiety change in tandem. It offers a point of comparison for parents weighing useful structure against pressure that can crowd out a young person’s own judgement.

Who was studied?

Children in northern Taiwan studied in relation to irritability, anxiety and psychological control.

Age / stage: Ages 8.8–11.4

Read with three questions

  1. What does the article establish about whether parental psychological control and children’s irritability or anxiety change in tandem?
  2. Which measurements came first, and what changes between waves could also explain the pattern?
  3. How closely does the population described here match the family or setting you have in mind? The population to compare is children in northern Taiwan studied in relation to irritability, anxiety and psychological control.

Keep the limits in view

Following families over time helps establish the order of measurements. Other changing experiences could still account for the associations.
