Abstract

Introduction: Stress generation suggests a reciprocal relationship between depression and prospective stressful life events. However, the applicability of stress generation to anxiety disorders has been understudied, particularly among youth. We address this gap by examining stress generation in youth at high-risk of developing anxiety disorders.

Methods: Participants were one-hundred thirty-six at-risk youth (M age = 8.69, 84.6% Caucasian; 55.9% female), each of whom had a parent with an anxiety disorder. We examined the role of an anxiety disorder diagnosis, anxiety symptoms, and cognitive distortions in youth's prospective one and six-year stressful life events (i.e., stress generation).

Results: Anxiety symptoms and cognitive distortions were significant predictors of one-year total dependent stress. Anxiety diagnosis and anxiety symptoms were significant predictors of one-year dependent interpersonal stress. Anxiety diagnosis and anxiety symptoms were significant predictors of six-year independent stress.

Conclusion: Support for the stress generation model was found in high-risk youth, but only over a one-year period. This suggests important effects of anxiety and cognitive distortions on stress generation, though their implications might be time-capped.

青少年压力的产生：焦虑、焦虑症状和认知扭曲的作用研究。

导言压力的产生表明，抑郁与预期的生活压力事件之间存在互为因果的关系。然而，压力产生对焦虑症的适用性研究不足，尤其是在青少年中。为了填补这一空白，我们对焦虑症高危青少年的压力产生进行了研究：研究对象为 136 名高风险青少年（平均年龄为 8.69 岁，84.6% 为白种人，55.9% 为女性），他们的父母均患有焦虑症。我们研究了焦虑症诊断、焦虑症状和认知扭曲在青少年未来一年和六年生活压力事件（即压力产生）中的作用：结果：焦虑症状和认知扭曲是一年总依赖压力的重要预测因素。焦虑诊断和焦虑症状对一年的依赖性人际压力有显著的预测作用。焦虑诊断和焦虑症状可显著预测六年的独立压力：结论：在高危青少年中发现了压力产生模型，但该模型仅适用于一年时间。这表明焦虑和认知扭曲对压力产生有重要影响，尽管其影响可能有时间限制。

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.
