First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how parents' tendency to see threats in everyday situations (interpretation bias) may influence their children's anxiety. Researchers will have 300 parents of children aged 7-12 use a smartphone app for four weeks to practice thinking less anxiously. The goal is to see if changing parents' thinking improves parenting behaviors and reduces children's anxiety, paving the way for future treatments.
