Abstract

Background and objectives: We investigated the trajectories of anxiety, general anxiety and more specifically COVID-19 anxiety in the period of school closure in Slovenia using a longitudinal design with three time points: at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the school year.

Design and methods: We have used data from a representative adolescent sample for Slovenia (n = 1233) and two anxiety scales: the LAOM Anxiety Scale and the COVID-19 Anxiety Scale. The findings from latent growth curve models show a significant difference in initial levels and a decrease in both types of anxiety as well as an interaction effect between the initial level and the rate of change of COVID-19 anxiety. In addition to investigating the change in time, we were interested in covariates.

Results and conclusions: The findings show significant effects of: (a) gender, school level and academic achievement on initial levels of COVID-19 anxiety; (b) gender and school level on initial levels of anxiety; (c) gender on the rate of change in anxiety; (d) academic achievement on the rate of change in COVID-19 anxiety; and, additionally, (e) the significant but different role that school belongingness plays in anxiety and in particular COVID-19 anxiety.

2019冠状病毒病学年背景下的焦虑:斯洛文尼亚青少年样本的三方纵向研究

背景和目标:我们采用纵向设计，在三个时间点(学年开始、学年中期和学年结束)调查了斯洛文尼亚学校关闭期间的焦虑、一般焦虑和更具体的COVID-19焦虑的轨迹。设计和方法:我们使用了斯洛文尼亚代表性青少年样本(n = 1233)的数据和两种焦虑量表:LAOM焦虑量表和COVID-19焦虑量表。潜在增长曲线模型的研究结果显示，两种焦虑类型的初始水平存在显著差异，并且初始水平与COVID-19焦虑变化率之间存在交互作用。除了研究时间的变化，我们对协变量也很感兴趣。结果和结论:研究结果显示:(a)性别、学校级别和学业成绩对COVID-19焦虑的初始水平有显著影响;(b)性别和学校级别对初始焦虑水平的影响;(c)性别对焦虑变化率的影响;(d)关于COVID-19焦虑变化率的学术成就;此外，(e)学校归属感在焦虑，特别是COVID-19焦虑中发挥的重要但不同的作用。

期刊介绍： This journal provides a forum for scientific, theoretically important, and clinically significant research reports and conceptual contributions. It deals with experimental and field studies on anxiety dimensions and stress and coping processes, but also with related topics such as the antecedents and consequences of stress and emotion. We also encourage submissions contributing to the understanding of the relationship between psychological and physiological processes, specific for stress and anxiety. Manuscripts should report novel findings that are of interest to an international readership. While the journal is open to a diversity of articles.
