	The aim of this study is to identify the relationship between the tendency to worry and the perception of parental attitudes in early adolescence.
	A group of 103 children, aged from 13 to 15, was examined. The participants completed two tests: Anne Roe’s Parent-Child Relations Questionnaire and Bruce Chorpita’s Penn State Worry Questionnaire for Children.
	Adolescents, girls more often than boys, worry at a moderate level. The results confirm that the intensity level of worry is associated with the perception of some parental attitudes: the more young people perceive their parents as demanding and rejecting, the more they worry. The tendency to worry is mostly associated with the rejecting mother’s attitude.
