A review of research between early childhood experiences and adult psychopathology showed that children who grew up to become depressed and anxious adults had:

A) authoritative parents.
B) inadequate parenting.
C) adventurous childhoods.
D) over-affectionate parents.

The review of research suggests that inadequate parenting, which could include neglect, rejection, or overly controlling parents, is a common factor in childhood experiences that can contribute to the development of depression and anxiety in adulthood. Authoritative parenting, adventurous childhoods, and over-affectionate parents were not found to have a significant association with adult psychopathology in this study.
