Slide 15-

Anxiety Disorders in Children and AdolescentsRisk and Maintaining Factors Genetic Factors: ~40% variance mediated by genetics Twin studies show 30-40% variance by heritability Especially high with general neuroticism Most studied is 5HTTLPR gene 2 short alleles on 5HTT gene increase environmental responsiveness
Slide 16-

Anxiety Disorders in Children and AdolescentsRisk and Maintaining Factors Temperamental Factors: Best studied and most clearly established risk factor˃inhibition Withdrawal in face of novelty Lack of smiling Lack of talk Limited eye contact Close proximity to attachment figure Slowness to warm up to strangers or peers Unwillingness to explore new situations Inhibited preschool kids 2-4x more likely to have anxiety by middle childhood
