Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mother's reactivity can be viewed as chronic anxiety, as her excessive involvement and emotional reactions to her daughter's social success in college indicate an underlying anxiety about her daughter's well-being and social integration, rather than a healthy or balanced approach to her daughter's independence and challenges.
