Lifetime psychopathology in the offspring of parents with anxiety disorders: A systematic review
2022, Journal of Affective DisordersCitation Excerpt :Underlying the emergence of ADs are environmental stressors in complex interactions with genetic factors already operating during the intrauterine period or the first years of life (Tsuang et al., 2004). The emergence of parental ADs leads to a sevenfold rise in the offspring's ADs (Turner et al., 1991). It has been found that both the genetic transmission of anxiety vulnerabilities and environmental factors resulting from growing up with an anxious parent contribute to the overlap between the anxiety of parents and their offspring (McAdams et al., 2014).

2005, Behaviour Research and TherapyCitation Excerpt :Although this study, as well as others (Margraf et al., 1996), did not reveal group differences in responses to stimuli presentation, the offspring of anxious parents in this study had significantly more spontaneous fluctuations (inter-stimulus interval arousal) during the fear relevant conditions. As noted in Turner et al. (1991), these findings suggest a defect in the ability of these children to adapt easily to novel or stressful stimuli, a hypothesis further supported by their differential habituation patterns. If further confirmed, it would suggest that there is a basic defect in adaptability in offspring of anxious parents.
