The aim of this research was to examine the relationship between the quality of family interactions and test anxiety and depression in the 4th and 7th grade primary school pupils. The research was conducted on a total of 205 pupils, 98 of which were male and 107 female. General data questionnaire was used to gather data on age, gender, GPA and grades in Croatian language and Mathematics at the end of the last academic year. Apart from the aforementioned basic information, several questionnaires were used to assess levels of depression and test anxiety, as well as quality of interactions within the family. Those were: “SDD” – The Scale of Depression for Children and Adolescents (Vulić-Prtorić, 2003), “SKAD-62” – The Subscale for Test Anxiety (Vulić-Prtorić, 2004), and “KOBI” – Scale of Interaction Quality within the Family (Vulić-Prtorić, 2002). Results have shown that older pupils were generally more depressed and anxious compared to the younger ones. However, the increasein depression is only applicable to the female pupils, whereas in male pupils, the level of depression was generally stable, regardless of age. A similar principle applies to test anxiety. The results have shown that the overall satisfaction with family, as well as the quality of interaction with mother and father was assessed higher in fourth graders, compared to seventh graders. Furthermore, female pupils assessed the mother as more accepting, whereas male pupils assessed the father as more accepting than girls did. Maternal rejection was independent of gender, but paternal rejection was more prominent in boys, compared to girls. Finally, higher maternal rejection and lower paternal acceptance were predictive of depression. Similar results were obtained for test anxiety that could also be predicted by age with younger pupils expressing lower test anxiety.
