In the meta-cognitive model of worry, positive, and negative beliefs about worry interact to make worry problematic. These beliefs have been found to be associated with anxiety in adolescents, but it is unknown whether they are associated with worry. Furthermore, it may be via cognitive mechanisms such as these, or directly through behavior, that parents influence their child's worry. The current study aimed to explore whether adolescent meta-cognition and parenting behaviors and meta-cognitions were associated with adolescent worry. Results indicated that meta-cognitions were specifically associated with worry in adolescents, but there was little evidence that parenting was. Parental worry on the other hand was associated with both parent and child reported parenting. It is concluded that the meta-cognitive model of worry may be relevant in adolescents, but that further research is required to explore how parents influence adolescent worry.
在担忧的元认知模型中，对担忧的积极和消极信念相互作用，使担忧成为问题。这些信念已被发现与青少年的焦虑有关，但尚不清楚它们是否与担忧有关。此外，父母可能通过这些认知机制或直接通过行为来影响孩子的担忧。本研究旨在探讨青少年的元认知和养育行为以及元认知是否与青少年的担忧有关。结果表明，元认知与青少年的担忧特别相关，但几乎没有证据表明养育行为与担忧有关。另一方面，父母的担忧与父母和孩子报告的养育行为都有关。结论是，担忧的元认知模型在青少年中可能是相关的，但需要进一步研究来探讨父母如何影响青少年的担忧。
