Abstract

Objective - Woefully, the early onset of anxiety disorders had affected children in different aspects throughout their developmental stages. In order to get rid of the increased prevalence rate among children, the biological attributed risk factors for anxiety should be given more concern. Particularly, this research intended to study the biological brain mechanism for trait anxiety among children. With brain electrical activity mapping, this research was aimed to study the relationship between the brain locations situated at the prefrontal cortex and temporal lobe with trait anxiety. Subsequently, this research aimed to predict the associated brain locations for trait anxiety among anxious children. Methodology/Technique – A total of 212 Chinese children from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with high trait anxiety was recruited after the first phase of the screening phase through the administration of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children-Trait Scale (STAIC-T). Recruited children then proceeded to the second phase of brain electrical activity brain mapping with a Quantitative Electroencephalogram (qEEG) brain mapping machine. Finding – Results showed that brain locations Fp1, Fp2, F7, F8, F3, F4, T3, and T4 are significantly correlated with trait anxiety while F8, Fp2, F4, and Fp1 are the significant predictors for trait anxiety among children during on task state. In short, the biological brain mechanism of brain locations played a role in forming the anxious trait the personality of children which resulted in reducing their resilience towards stress.

马来西亚华裔儿童特质焦虑的脑电活动图谱研究
可悲的是,早发焦虑症在儿童整个发育阶段的不同方面都有影响。为了摆脱儿童中日益增加的患病率,应更多地关注生物学因素导致的焦虑。本研究旨在探讨儿童特质焦虑的生物学脑机制。本研究利用脑电活动图研究前额叶和颞叶脑区与特质焦虑的关系。随后,本研究旨在预测焦虑儿童与特质焦虑相关的大脑位置。方法/技术-通过儿童状态-特质焦虑量表-特质量表(static - t)的管理,在筛选阶段的第一阶段后,从马来西亚吉隆坡招募了212名患有高特质焦虑的中国儿童。然后,被招募的孩子们用定量脑电图(qEEG)脑绘图仪进行脑电活动的第二阶段。结果表明,Fp1、Fp2、F7、F8、F3、F4、T3、T4脑区与特质焦虑显著相关,F8、Fp2、F4、Fp1脑区是任务状态下儿童特质焦虑的显著预测因子。总之,大脑位置的生物脑机制在儿童人格焦虑特质的形成中发挥了作用,导致儿童对压力的弹性降低。论文类型:EmpiricalJEL分类:D83, i19关键词:脑电活动图(BEAM);孩子;中国人;马来西亚;特质焦虑;定量脑电图(qEEG)本文的参考文献如下:Cheong, C.C;Ashari,;易卜拉欣,R;Sulaiman W.A.W;杨坤奎(2020)。马来西亚华裔儿童特质焦虑的脑电活动映射(BEAM) [j]。Soc。科学。杂志,8(4):246 - 259。https://doi.org/10.35609/gjbssr.2020.8.4 (6)
