Relationship between youth and parent perceptions of family environment and social anxiety
Abstract
This study concurrently examined the relationship between adolescents' perceptions of their parents' child-rearing styles and family environment and their reports of social anxiety. Adolescents reporting higher levels of social anxiety perceived their parents as being more socially isolating, overly concerned about others' opinions, ashamed of their shyness and poor performance, and less socially active than did youth reporting lower levels of social anxiety. Parent perceptions of child-rearing styles and family environment, however, did not differ between parents of socially anxious and nonsocially anxious adolescents. Results are comparable to studies using adult retrospective reports and are discussed with regard to the role of the family environment in the development of social anxiety.

Anxious youth generally report more negative interactions with parents and peers.
“Anxious youth also generally report more negative interactions with parents and peers (Ginsburg et al., 1998; Caster et al., 1999; Hale et al., 2006).”

The Discussion reports that youth with high social anxiety perceived their parents as more socially isolating and more ashamed of their shyness and poor performance than youth with low social anxiety. This supports the parent-related part, but the paper does not report that they had more negative interactions with peers; its finding is also specific to social anxiety rather than anxious youth generally. (LLM, conf=0.87)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredYouth reporting anxiety symptoms tend to view their relationships with parents and peers as less positive.
“This may be especially relevant for the current sample, as youth reporting anxiety symptoms tend to view their relationships with parents and peers as less positive (Ginsburg et al., 1998; Caster et al., 1999; Hale et al., 2006).”
From Neural Activation to Parental Praise Interacts With Social Context to Predict Adolescent Depressive Symptoms (2019) · cites this paper as Caster et al., 1999
The Abstract and Discussion report that adolescents with higher social anxiety perceived their parents as more socially isolating and their family as less socially active. The paper does not report that they viewed their relationships with peers as less positive; reporting less social activity is not the same finding. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
