Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 710 students ranging from 8 to 13 years (mean age 10.8 years [±0.75]), the most of them males (n = 422,59.4%), completed three screening instruments: a parenting practices scale and two self-reports for evaluating anxiety and depressive symptoms. Two hierarchical multiple regression analyses were performed. Results: Authoritative (38.6%) and neglectful (38%) parenting styles were predominant. Symptoms of depression —F(3,706) = 3.12,p = .03— and anxiety —F(3,706) = 2.83,p = .4— differed by parenting styles. Students with a neglectful parenting style reported significant lower generalized anxiety symptoms than those whose parents used authoritative parenting. Clinical implications: Children ages 8 to 13 years-old with authoritative  parenting style should be evaluated for possible presence of generalized anxiety symptoms.</p>}, number={1}, journal={International Journal of Psychological Research}, author={Romero-Acosta, Kelly and Gómez-de-Regil, Lizzette and Lowe, Gillian A. and Garth E. , Lipps and Gibson, Roger C.}, year={2021}, month={Apr.}, pages={12–32} }
