Abstract

While the Metacognitive Model (MCM) of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is well-established, the Emotion Dysregulation Model (EDM) of GAD has received less attention. This study examined whether the EDM helps explain GAD above and beyond the MCM. The influence of gender was also explored. A non-clinical university sample (N = 626) completed measures of GAD symptoms, worry severity, the MCM, and the EDM. In support of the EDM, it was found that fear of depression predicted GAD symptoms for men, while fear of anxiety predicted GAD symptoms for women. However, across genders, the strongest predictor of GAD symptoms and worry severity was negative beliefs about worry. While these findings support the MCM view that holding the beliefs that worry is harmful and dangerous is the strongest predictor of GAD overall, incorporating aspects of the EDM into our understanding and treatment of GAD may be beneficial.

广泛性焦虑症：情绪失调模型对症状的预测是否超越了元认知模型？

尽管广泛性焦虑症（GAD）的元认知模型（MCM）已得到广泛认可，但 GAD 的情绪失调模型（EDM）却较少受到关注。本研究探讨了 EDM 是否有助于解释 MCM 模型之外的 GAD。研究还探讨了性别的影响。非临床大学样本（N = 626）完成了对 GAD 症状、担忧严重程度、MCM 和 EDM 的测量。研究发现，对抑郁的恐惧预示着男性会出现 GAD 症状，而对焦虑的恐惧则预示着女性会出现 GAD 症状。然而，在所有性别中，对 GAD 症状和担忧严重程度最有力的预测因素是对担忧的消极信念。虽然这些发现支持 MCM 的观点，即认为担忧是有害和危险的信念是 GAD 的最强预测因素，但将 EDM 的某些方面纳入我们对 GAD 的理解和治疗中可能是有益的：在线版本包含补充材料，可查阅 10.1007/s10942-022-00479-7。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
