This study examined the relations between behavioral inhibition, Big Five personality traits, and anxiety disorder symptoms in non-clinical children (n = 147) and clinically anxious children (n = 45) aged 6-13 years. Parents completed the Behavioral Inhibition Questionnaire-Short Form, the Big Five Questionnaire for Children, and the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders-Revised. Results indicated that, compared to parents of non-clinical children, parents of clinically anxious children rated their offspring higher on neuroticism and behavioral inhibition, but lower on extraversion, conscientiousness, and intellect/openness. Further, extraversion emerged as the strongest correlate of an inhibited temperament, and this appeared true for the clinically anxious as well as the non-clinical children. Finally, in both the clinical and non-clinical samples, higher levels of behavioral inhibition and neuroticism were unique and significant predictors of anxiety disorders symptoms.
本研究考察了行为抑制、大五人格特质与 6-13 岁非临床儿童(n=147)和临床焦虑儿童(n=45)焦虑障碍症状之间的关系。家长完成了行为抑制问卷-短式、儿童大五人格问卷和儿童焦虑相关情绪障碍筛查修订版。结果表明,与非临床儿童的家长相比,临床焦虑儿童的家长对其子女的神经质和行为抑制评分更高,但对外向性、尽责性和智力/开放性评分更低。此外,外向性是抑制气质的最强相关因素,这对临床焦虑和非临床儿童都是如此。最后,在临床和非临床样本中,较高的行为抑制和神经质水平是焦虑障碍症状的独特和显著预测因素。
