“…Children are asked to score each of the 69 items on a three-point scale, where 0 = almost never, 1 = sometimes, and 2 = often. Adequate internal consistency, construct validity, and discriminant validity has been demonstrated in clinically anxious samples of youth as young as 8 years of age (Muris et al 2004;Muris and Steerneman 2001), and the measure has demonstrated sensitivity to treatment effects (Muris and Steerneman 2001). The Danish version of the questionnaire has also shown satisfactory psychometric properties (Esbjørn, Sømhovd, Caspersen, & Reinholdt-Dunne, 2012).…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate reductions in negative automatic thoughts and metacognitive beliefs as predictors of treatment gains in CBT for childhood anxiety disorders. A sample of 44 clinically anxious children between 7 and 12 years of age, who underwent CBT, completed questionnaires assessing negative thinking, metacognitive beliefs and processes, and anxiety symptoms before, after, and 6 months following treatment. Results indicated that negative thoughts and metacognitions decreased equally during the treatment period. Furthermore, metacognitions continued to decrease during the posttreatment period. Negative thinking and metacognitions were both significant predictors of reductions in child-reported anxiety from pre-to posttreatment. For long-term anxiety changes, only decreases in negative thoughts were related to anxiety reduction. Mediation analysis showed that metacognitions partially mediated the relation between negative thinking and anxiety. The study supports negative automatic thoughts and metacognitive beliefs and processes as putative mediators of CBT.

Children exposed to a technological disaster during an understudied part of the lifespan, preschool age and early middle childhood, were assessed in a 5-year follow-up regarding mental health problems, anxiety disorder symptoms, depressive symptoms, physical symptoms, and posttraumatic stress symptoms. Exposed children and their parents (n = 264) reported significantly more problems than controls (n = 515). The differences were greater for conduct problems (including hyperactivity) and physical symptoms, than for anxiety and depression. The long-term effects of a technological disaster on children of pre-school age at exposure appear to differ from those in children, who were victimized at a later age. This may reflect interference with completion of specific developmental tasks.

“…Social anxiety for clinical pathology in this population of high students in a similar setting of 80% prevalence is not surprising since there are high levels of bullying in the same schools [12]. Utilising a questionnaire for screening a broad range of DSM-IV defined anxiety disorder symptoms in children and adolescents in the same setting, almost all students had separation anxiety, school phobia and obsessive or compulsive symptoms [12,[14][15]. The lowest anxiety symptoms (54.7%) were in specific phobia for animals [12].…”
