Abstract

One in ten children is affected by an anxiety disorder. Current state of research shows that transgenerational transmission as well as positive (POS) and negative (NEG) metacognitive beliefs are relevant in the context of anxiety disorders in youth. We investigated whether transgenerational transmission is also evident in conjunction with POS and NEG and cross-sectionally surveyed POS, NEG, anxiety symptoms and worry in 8-16-year-old children and adolescents with anxiety disorders (n = 71) and non-clinical controls (n = 40) and one of their parents. Our results revealed significant transgenerational correlations for NEG in both samples, and for POS in the non-clinical sample only. Mediation analysis showed that children's NEG did at least partly mediate the relationship between parents' NEG and children's anxiety and worry. Children's and parents' POS did not correlate in either sample with children's anxiety and worry. Further research on the transgenerational transmission of metacognition and longitudinal data is needed.

焦虑障碍背景下父母与孩子之间元认知传递的研究。

十分之一的儿童患有焦虑症。目前的研究表明，跨代传递以及积极（POS）和消极（NEG）元认知信念与青少年焦虑症有关。我们调查了跨代遗传是否与POS和NEG一起也很明显，并横断面调查了8-16岁患有焦虑症的儿童和青少年（n = 71）和非临床对照（n = 40）及其父母之一的POS、NEG、焦虑症状和担忧。我们的研究结果揭示了两种样本中NEG的显著跨代相关性，而POS仅在非临床样本中存在。中介分析表明，儿童的NEG至少部分地中介了父母的NEG与儿童焦虑和担忧之间的关系。在两个样本中，儿童和父母的POS与儿童的焦虑和担忧没有相关性。元认知的跨代传递和纵向数据有待进一步研究。
