“…Items on the NASSQ are empirically derived (Lerner et al, 1999;Ronan et al, 1994). Sood and Kendall (2007) identified an anxiety subscale which was found to be valid across different age groups and a recent study (Villabø et al, 2013) found that high overall scores on the NASSQ were related to anxiety symptom severity, and that anxious but not depressive self-statements were related to anxiety. The anxiety subscale identified by Sood and Kendall was examined as a potential mediator using baseline and posttreatment scores.…”

Objective Test changes in (a) coping efficacy and (b) anxious self-talk as potential mediators of treatment gains at 3-month follow-up in the Child/Adolescent Anxiety Multimodal Treatment Study (CAMS). Method Participants were 488 youth (ages 7-17; 50.4% male) randomized to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT; Coping cat program), pharmacotherapy (sertraline), their combination, or pill placebo. Participants met DSM-IV criteria for generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, and/or separation anxiety disorder. Coping efficacy (reported ability to manage anxiety provoking situations) was measured by youth and parent reports on the Coping Questionnaire, and anxious self-talk was measured by youth report on the Negative Affectivity Self-Statement Questionnaire. Outcome was measured using the Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale (completed by Independent Evaluators blind to condition). For temporal precedence, residualized treatment gains were assessed at 3-month follow-up. Results Residualized gains in coping efficacy mediated gains in the CBT, sertraline, and combination conditions. In the combination condition, some unique effect of treatment remained. Treatment assignment was not associated with a reduction in anxious self-talk, nor did anxious self-talk predict changes in anxiety symptoms. Conclusions The findings suggest that improvements in coping efficacy are a mediator of treatment gains. Anxious self-talk did not emerge as a mediator.

“…It is likely that atrisk underlying neurocognitive processes, such as language and executive functioning (EF; the self-regulation of thought, behavior, and emotion in the service of goal attainment), account for a large portion of unexplained individual variability in psychosocial outcomes in CI users. Cognitive–behavioral theory and research suggest that language plays a direct and central role in how young children develop schema-based assumptions and processing strategies for how they interpret and react (either internalize or externalize behaviors) to individuals and events around them (Kendall 2011; Villabø et al 2013). Furthermore, EF and language are robustly connected via feedback loops that include attention and working memory, which are stronger in CI users than in NH peers (Kronenberger et al 2014).…”

“…They determined that automatic thoughts of loss and personal failure were closely related to depressive symptoms, while automatic thoughts of threats were more associated with anxiety. Results from Villabø, Gere, Torgersen, Arnberg, Neumer and Kendall () suggested that negative self‐statements were significantly associated with increased anxious and depressive symptoms compared to attention‐deficit/hyperactivity. Micco, Hirshfeld‐Becker, Henin and Ehrenreich‐May () found that children with social phobia and panic disorder were significantly influenced by the specific content involved in threat interpretation.…”

The main aim of the current study was to test the cognitive content-specificity hypothesis across internalizing and externalizing problems in Chinese adolescents. The participants consisted of 2,158 adolescents aged 11-19 years from three middle schools, and they completed a number of measures assessing a wide range of automatic thoughts and syndromes related to internalizing and externalizing problems. Multivariate regression analyses demonstrated that thoughts about social threats, personal failure and hostility were the strongest predictors of anxiety, depression, and externalizing problems, respectively. Age was a statistically significant, albeit modest, moderator of the relationship between automatic thoughts about social threat and anxiety. The current study provides support for the cognitive content-specificity hypothesis in internalizing and externalizing problems in a Chinese sample.
