Mütterliches Expressed Emotion und elterliche Angst vor negativer Bewertung bei Kindern mit sozialer Angststörung

Published Online:April 05, 2017https://doi.org/10.1026/1616-3443/a000383

Abstract

Zusammenfassung.Theoretischer Hintergrund: Ziel dieser Studie ist die Untersuchung von Expressed Emotion (EE) als Faktor des familiären Klimas sowie elterlicher Angst vor negativer Bewertung des Kindes als potentieller Mediator für den Zusammenhang von sozialer Angst der Eltern und Kinder. Methode: Kinder mit Sozialer Angststörung (SAS; n = 64) und ohne SAS (healthy control, HC, n = 52) sowie deren Eltern (Mütter und Väter) berichteten über eigene soziale Ängste und ihre Angst vor negativer Bewertung des Kindes. Mütter nahmen zudem am Five Minute Speech Sample (FMSS) zur Erhebung von EE teil. Ergebnisse: Berichte von Müttern von Kindern mit einer SAS wurden häufiger als High Expressed Emotion (HEE) eingestuft als Berichte von Müttern von HC Kindern. Es zeigte sich ein Zusammenhang von EE und sozialer Angst der Mutter wie auch mütterlicher Angst vor negativer Bewertung des Kindes. Zudem wurde der Zusammenhang zwischen kindlicher und mütterlicher sozialer Angst partiell durch die Angst vor negativer Bewertung des Kindes mediiert. Schlussfolgerungen: Es konnte ein Zusammenhang von kindlicher SAS und gleichzeitig erhöhtem EE der Mütter gezeigt werden. Erhöhte Angst vor negativer Bewertung des Kindes stellt einen potenziellen Mechanismus dar, wie mütterliche, nicht aber väterliche, soziale Angst an das Kind vermittelt werden kann.


Maternal Expressed Emotion and Parental Fear of Negative Evaluation in Children With Social Anxiety Disorder

Abstract.Background: The study aims to examine expressed emotion (EE) as a measure of family climate and fear of negative child evaluation as a potential mediator between child and parental social anxiety. Method: Children with social anxiety disorder (SAD; n = 64) and without SAD (healthy control, HC; n = 52) as well as their parents reported on their own social anxiety and parental anxiety of fear of negative child evaluation. Mothers additionally participated in the Five Minute Speech Sample to assess EE. Results: Mothers of children with SAD were more frequently rated as showing high expressed emotion (HEE) than mothers of HC children. EE and maternal anxiety were related concerning both maternal social anxiety and fear of negative child evaluation. The relation between child and maternal social anxiety was partially mediated by maternal fear of negative child evaluation. Conclusion: A relation between child SAD and maternal elevated EE was observed. An elevated fear of negative child evaluation poses a potential mechanism of transmission between maternal, but not paternal, and child social anxiety.
