This article discusses converging evidence from developmental, clinical, and cognitive psychology suggesting that there is significant overlap between research findings on affect, temperament, and attentional processes associated with pathological anxiety. We offer a proposal for the integration of these 3 areas aimed at developing a more clear understanding of the developmental sequence and operative mechanisms in the dysregulation of negative affect and the development of symptoms of anxiety pathology. We review evidence for a model indicating that reactive and effortful temperamental processes, possibly mediated by an attentional bias toward threat-relevant information, interact to produce problems of dysregulated negative affect and elevated levels of pathological anxiety. This model may assist in understanding the development of anxiety disorders, identifying children at risk for such disorders, and selecting points of entry for both preventative and curative interventions.
本文讨论了来自发展心理学、临床心理学和认知心理学的趋同证据，这些证据表明，与病理性焦虑相关的情感、气质和注意力过程的研究结果存在显著重叠。我们提出了一个整合这三个领域的建议，旨在更清楚地理解消极情感失调和焦虑病理症状发展中的发展顺序及作用机制。我们回顾了一个模型的证据，该模型表明，反应性和努力性的气质过程可能由对威胁相关信息的注意力偏差介导，相互作用产生消极情感失调问题和病理性焦虑水平升高。这个模型可能有助于理解焦虑症的发展，识别有患此类疾病风险的儿童，并选择预防和治疗干预的切入点。
