Summary:The present study was designed to explore the role of perceived parental rearing style in Separation Anxiety Disorder (SAD). We examined the association between perceived parental overprotection and rejection rearing style with children’s SAD symptoms.

Also, we discovered parental rejection merely was not significant predictor, but it could modify the effect of parental overprotection.
