Abstract

Background: Disorder-specific cognitive-behavioural conceptual models of anxiety disorders have informed psychological interventions with adults, but not with adolescents. This study aims to clarify the applicability of the intolerance of uncertainty model to generalized anxiety disorder symptoms in young people and the moderating influence of gender and age on these relationships. Methods: Three hundred and twenty-six young people, aged 11 – 15 years, from three high schools in a semi-rural area in West Scotland, completed self-report measures relating to generalized anxiety disorder symptoms and cognitive variables of the intolerance of uncertainty model. Results: Intolerance of uncertainty and negative problem orientation were found to be predictive of generalized anxiety disorder symptoms; positive beliefs about worry and cognitive avoidance were found to be less important in the prediction of generalized anxiety disorder symptoms. Gender only moderated the relationship between positive beliefs about worry and generalized anxiety disorder symptoms; age did not act as a moderator. Conclusion: The model of intolerance of uncertainty seems to be helpful in understanding generalized anxiety in young people. Clinical considerations are discussed.

不确定性不耐受模型在青少年广泛性焦虑障碍症状中的适用性
背景:焦虑症的障碍特异性认知行为概念模型已经为成人的心理干预提供了信息,但对青少年却没有。本研究旨在阐明不确定性不耐受模型在年轻人广泛性焦虑障碍症状中的适用性,以及性别和年龄对这些关系的调节作用。方法:来自苏格兰西部半农村地区三所高中的326名11 - 15岁的年轻人完成了与广泛性焦虑障碍症状和不确定性不耐受模型认知变量相关的自我报告测量。结果:不确定性耐受和负性问题取向可预测广泛性焦虑障碍的症状;研究发现,对担忧和认知回避的积极信念在预测广泛性焦虑障碍症状方面不太重要。性别仅调节了积极焦虑信念与广泛性焦虑障碍症状之间的关系;年龄并没有起到调节作用。结论:不确定性不耐受模型似乎有助于理解青少年的广泛性焦虑。讨论了临床考虑。
