Abstract
The relationship between family interaction and children's test and trait anxiety was studied among 152 parent couples, and their children (aged 11-12 years). The results reveal a relationship between children's test and trait anxiety and the following patterns of perceived family interaction: communication, encouragement of personal growth, and system maintenance. Discrepancies between family members' perceptions (father and mother, father and child) were also found. Anxiety levels were linked more to children's perceptions of family variables than to parents' reports. Children's scores for four of the five family variables were lower than those of their parents.
