“…For children, overall SCARED scores ranged from 1–30 ( M = 9.59, SD = 7.54), social anxiety scores ranged from 0–12 ( M = 2.78, SD = 2.94), and generalized anxiety scores ranged from 0–16 ( M = 3.00, SD = 3.40). These scores are in line with past studies of community samples (e.g., Bowers et al., 2020; Rappaport, Pagliaccio, Pine, Klein, & Jarcho, 2017). Given that the children in our sample had not received official clinical diagnoses and were recruited via community sampling, we included the full sample in final analyses.…”

“…One limitation of the current work is that we only included one assessment of social anxiety in each age group, and that social anxiety was measured with two different scales and different report types (parent for child and self for adult), limiting direct comparisons. Different measurements may be responsible for the relatively higher social anxiety scores (compared to conventional cut‐offs) and larger range in our adult versus child samples, particularly given that parents tend to report lower levels of social anxiety in their children than children themselves do (Bowers et al., 2020; Rappaport et al., 2017). The levels of social anxiety in our college student sample may also reflect real increases in college student anxiety in the past decades (e.g., Booth, Sharma, & Leader, 2016).…”

The mapping of developmental relations between social cognition and real‐world social behaviors has theoretical and practical importance. In the domain of social anxiety, however, studies examining links between social cognitive ability and anxiety have produced mixed results. One potential explanation is that varied facets of social cognition are differentially linked to social anxiety across development. To better understand how social cognition relates to social anxiety, we assessed multiple facets of two important social cognitive capacities—mind‐mindedness and theory of mind— in school‐aged children aged 7–12 and young adults aged 18–24. We also measured social anxiety traits. We found that, across ages, mind‐mindedness and theory of mind were not related to each other. Additionally, for children and adults, higher levels of social anxiety correlated with higher levels of mind‐mindedness toward close social partners, indicating an increased propensity to describe partners using mental state terms. By contrast, social anxiety was not correlated with theory of mind, which measured the ability to decipher or attribute mental states to photographs, videos, or story characters. These findings offer insight into how different components of social cognition are related and how more naturalistic measures of social cognition involving relationships may relate to social anxiety across development.

“…Studies showed children couldget fear and avoidance behavior at an early age through observational learning and modeling. It was reported that there might be a difference between the levels of anxiety observed by the family and reported by the child, and this provides different and valuable information about anxiety 15 . Data from epidemiological and family studies reported that anxiety disorders were familial, and mother anxiety predicted child anxiety when the effects of upbringing were evaluated 16,17 .…”

Infectious disease outbreaks not only affect the physical health of patients but also affect the psychological health and well-being of the uninfected population. High rates of psychiatric symptoms and stress are observed in the general population in COVID-19 pandemic and healthcare workers (HCWs) reported higher-risk perception and anxiety level. We aimed to evaluate the anxiety levels of HCWs and their children during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey. Materials and Methods: A total of 121 HCWs and 121 HCWs' children aged 8-17 were included from 23 different cities to assess the anxiety level of them during the COVID-19 pandemic by using an online questionnaire. The Beck Anxiety Inventory and the parent Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) were applied to all the HCWs. The child SCARED which has a selfreport scale for children of the HCWs had completed. COVID-19 Pandemic Questionnaire was applied to determine stress levels and lifestyle changes. Results: All of the HCWs had mild to severe anxiety, about 17% reported moderate and 27% reported severe anxiety severity. 40 (33.06%) children were over cutoff for total score in both SCARED the parents and the child version. Children anxiety showed a positive correlation with Beck Anxiety Inventory and COVID-19 Pandemic Questionnaire (<0.001). Conclusion: The current study found that HCWs and their children experienced a high level of anxiety in the COVID-19 pandemic. It was detected that a positive correlation between HCWs and their children's anxiety.

“…Total anxiety scores were the primary outcome of interest. In order to combine information from multiple informants while also accounting for differences in how parents and children rate anxiety symptoms (Bowers et al, 2020), total anxiety scores were computed separately for parent and child, Z-transformed, and then averaged together to form an anxiety composite score for analyses (for separate regression results involving child-reported or parent-reported anxiety, see Supplementary Tables S1-S4).…”

Background: Behavioral inhibition (BI) is a temperament style characterized by heightened reactivity and negative affect in response to novel people and situations, and it is a strong predictor of anxiety problems later in life. However, not all BI children develop anxiety problems and mounting evidence suggests that how one manages their cognitive resources (cognitive control) influences anxiety risk. The present study tests whether more (proactive control) or less (reactive control) planful cognitive strategies moderate relations between BI and anxiety. Methods: Participants included 144 adolescents (55.9% female) whose temperament was assessed during toddlerhood. In adolescence (mean age = 15.4 years), participants completed an AX Continuous Performance Test while EEG was recorded in order to disentangle neural activity related to proactive (cue-locked P3b) and reactive (probe-locked N2) control. Results: BI was associated with greater total anxiety scores only among adolescents with smaller ΔP3bs and larger ΔN2s - a pattern consistent with decreased reliance on proactive strategies and increased reliance on reactive strategies. Additionally, a larger ΔP3b was associated with greater total anxiety scores. Conclusions: BI relates to risk for anxiety specifically among adolescents who rely less on proactive strategies and more on reactive control strategies. Results further suggest that proactive control differentiates a BI-related etiological pathway to anxiety from a more general pathway to anxiety occurring regardless of BI level. Thus, developmental context (i.e., temperament) moderates the association between anxiety and proactive control. The present study is the first to characterize how proactive and reactive control uniquely relate to pathways toward anxiety risk.
