“…However, it is thought that there are developmental trends in worry, in that worry content changes over time. Worries that exist early in childhood have been found to be concrete and centred on physical safety, whereas by adolescence, worries are more abstract in nature and more likely to be concerned with social acceptance and psychological well‐being (Vasey et al ; Cartwright‐Hatton ). Vasey et al () linked this finding to the development of increasingly complex self‐perceptions and an increasing awareness of social evaluation by others.…”

“…As previously mentioned, worries in themselves are not necessarily a sign of significant distress. It has been consistently found that it is the intensity of worry that differentiates non‐pathological worry from pathological worry (Cartwright‐Hatton ). In the study by Forte et al (), participants rated the levels of rumination (the frequency of worry) and distress (the upset caused) that they experienced in relation to specific worries and also completed a measure of anxiety.…”

A 5 year, ten wave longitudinal study of 338 adolescents assessed the association between two forms of cognitive vulnerability (intolerance of uncertainty and fear of anxiety) and worry. Multilevel mediational analyses revealed a bidirectional and reciprocal relation between intolerance of uncertainty and worry in which change in one variable partially explained change in the other. Fear of anxiety and worry also showed evidence of a bidirectional relation, although change in fear of anxiety had a much weaker mediational effect on change in worry than vice versa. The findings show that relative to fear of anxiety, intolerance of uncertainty may play a greater role in the etiology of worry in adolescents.

“…; DSM-5;American Psychiatric Association, 2013), both in adults and children. Although there is now a large body of empirical and theoretical work available concerning normal and pathological worry in adults, surprisingly little is known about the characteristics, function, and developmental course of worry in youth (Cartwright-Hatton, 2006). Current research interest in worry was initiated by Borkovec, Robinson, Pruzinsky, and DePree (1983), who first defined this phenomenon as .…”

Worry in adults has been conceptualized as a thinking process involving problem-solving attempts about anticipated negative outcomes. This process is related to, though distinct from, fear. Previous research suggested that compared to adults, children's experience of worry is less strongly associated with thinking and more closely related to fear. The present study further explored children's worrying. Ninety-three 7-to 12-yearolds rated how much they worry, fear and think about the same list of negative outcomes, and reported on their positive beliefs about worrying. Children associated worrying more strongly with fear than with thinking. However, this relationship was moderated by age. Older children reported that worry was more closely related to thinking and less closely related to fear. Furthermore, children who reported more thinking, rather than fear, about negative outcomes were also more likely to report that worrying had beneficial effects. Results suggest important changes in the nature of worrying during late childhood.
