“…Recently, children with ADHD were found to develop new anxiety disorders at a comparable rate to a sample of DSM-IIIR anxiety-disordered children (Last, Perrin, Hersen, & Kazdin, 1992), and to have high rates of co-morbid anxiety (Anderson, Williams, McGee, & Silva, 1987;McClellan, Rubert, Reichler, & Sylvester, 1990) and anxiety in their firstdegree relatives (Biederman, Faraone, Keenan, Knee, & Tsuang, 1990;Last, Hersen, Kazdin, Orvaschel, & Perrin, 1991). McClellan et al (1990) found an increased rate of ADHD in the offspring of panic disordered adults vs. depressed and normal adults.…”

“…These disorders are associated with low self-esteem, poor problem solving skills, social inhibition, and a strong desire to be accepted (Anderson, Williams, McGee, & Silva, 1987;Khalid-Khan, Santibanez, McMicken, & Rynn, 2007;McGee et al, 1990;Twenge, 2000). Altogether these characteristics may predispose adolescents with anxiety disorders to experience unique stressors while using Facebook.…”

“…Anxiety and conduct problems are common areas of difficulty in child psychopathology (Anderson, Williams, McGee, & Silva, 1987). Although each may appear alone these problems also co-occur in both epidemiological and clinic-referred samples (Fergusson & Horwood, 1993;Russo & Beidel, 1994).…”

Anxiety and conduct problems covary, yet studies have not explored the genetic and environmental origins of this association.We analyzed parent-reported anxiety and conduct problems in 6,783 pairs of twins at 2-, 3-, and 4-years of age. As anxiety and conduct problems were fairly stable across the three ages (average 1-year correlation was .53), ratings from all three were combined. The aggregate anxiety and conduct ratings correlated .33 for boys and .30 for girls. Bivariate genetic analyses indicated fairly low genetic correlations (.31 for boys, .16 for girls), and high shared environmental correlations (1.0 for boys and 0.99 for girls) between anxiety and conduct problems. Most of the phenotypic correlation was accounted for by shared environmental mediation (65% for boys and 94% for girls), indicating that many of the same family environmental factors are responsible for the development of both anxiety and conduct problems.Keywords: anxiety; conduct; twins; genes; environment.Goldsmiths Research Online. A twin study of anxiety and conflict. 2Anxiety and conduct problems are common areas of difficulty in child psychopathology (Anderson, Williams, McGee, & Silva, 1987). Although each may appear alone these problems also co-occur in both epidemiological and clinic-referred samples (Fergusson & Horwood, 1993;Russo & Beidel, 1994). This is interesting because at first glance the symptoms of anxiety appear to be counter indicative of conduct problems, and the presumed causes of anxiety and conduct problems would seem to imply a negative association. Although estimates as to the degree of overlap between anxiety and externalizing problems vary between studies, a reviewof the literature has reported that between 2 and 21% of children referred for anxiety had externalizing problems (Russo & Beidel, 1994). Some of the studies leading to these estimates combine child and adolescent data, and co-occurrence between anxiety and externalizing problems may be greater in preadolescent as compared to adolescent samples. For example, in a study of children diagnosed with overanxious disorder, 61% of those aged 5-11 were also diagnosed with an externalizing disorder, but only 15% of those aged 12-19 received such a diagnosis (Strauss, Lease, Last, & Francis, 1988).Over the past decade there has been interest in using genetic data to examine the origins of associations between traits (for a textbook on behavioral genetics see Plomin, DeFries, McClearn, & McGuffin, 2001). Such data can be used to estimate the extent to which associations are mediated by genes, shared environment (any environmental influence contributing to the resemblance of family members) and nonshared environment (environmental factors not contributing to the resemblance of family members). An example of genetic mediation of the association between anxiety and conduct could be via the serotonin system-which has been associated with both anxiety and conduct problems (Eley, Collier,&McGuffin, 2002;Unis et al., 1997), although as discussed later most gen...
