This study addresses this gap using a large cross-sectional dyadic dataset of Chinese adolescents and their parents. MethodA total of 2308 Chinese adolescents (Mage = 15.36 ± 0.52, 51.87% male) and their parents participated. Structural equation modeling was used to explore the association between parental anxiety (parent-reported) and adolescent anxiety (self-reported), with parent-adolescent relationships and academic stress as mediators and self-affirmation as a moderator. Gender differences in the model were also examined. ResultsParental anxiety indirectly contributed to adolescent anxiety through weakened parent-adolescent relationships and increased academic stress. However, a strong self-affirmation buffered the negative impact of academic stress on adolescent anxiety. Additionally, girls were more susceptible to parental anxiety than boys.
