This article employed descriptive statistics, regression analysis, and mediating effect analysis to study the current state and characteristics of parental educational anxiety as well as contributing factors. It was found that there was a 66.8% rate of educational anxiety among parents surveyed; that education policies were the primary factor in parental educational anxiety, with their relation being mainly mediated by school-related variables; that there was a significantly negative correlation between child academic performance and parents' educational anxiety; and that mothers are more prone to educational anxiety than fathers.
