Some correlates of worry and generalized anxiety disorder
Anxiety sensitivity, defined as a fear of anxiety symptoms, is believed to be a risk factor in the development of psychological disorders, with a specific effect on the anxiety disorders. Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is characterized by excessive, uncontrollable, and often irrational worry about everyday things that is disproportionate to the actual source of worry. Different worry intensities have been linked to the anxiety sensitivity in clinical and non-clinical populations, with some other factors contributing to the development of GAD symptoms, such as perceived alienation from parents and peers. Since previous studies have given contradictory accounts of relationship between these variables, our goal was to examine relationship between perceived parent/peer alienation, anxiety sensitivity, and GAD symptoms on a sample of Croatian university students. Participants have filled out Anxiety Sensitivity Index, The Generalized Anxiety Disorders Questionnaire, The Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment and The Penn State Worry Questionnaire. We found a positive relationship between anxiety sensitivity, parent/peer alienation, worry, and GAD symptoms, and have partially confirmed our hypothesis of mediation effects of anxiety sensitivity on the relationship between parent/peer alienation, worry, and GAD symptoms.
