TABLE 1 Sociodemographic Characteristics of the Sample
FIGURE 1 Time flow of the current study. Mothers and fathers of each participating child joined the lab visit at each measurement point. At 2.5 and 4.5 years measurement, there was also a home visit. SR = Social referencing; BI = behavioral inhibition.

TABLE 4 Multilevel Regressions of Child Fear and Avoidance at 4.5 Years on Parental Expressions of Anxiety at 1, 2.5, and 4.5 Years
FIGURE 2 Plot of the interaction between parental social anxiety severity and behavioral inhibition (BI) in toddlerhood in the fear model (on the left), and between parental expressions of anxiety at 2.5 years (y) and child BI in the avoidance model (on the right). Moderate, low, and high levels of infant BI were set to mean, 1 SD below the mean, and 1 SD above the mean, respectively. More severe forms of parental social anxiety were related to more fear only in high BI children (z > 1.05). More expressed anxiety at 2.5 years from parents predicted more avoidance in moderate-to-high BI children (z > .07).
