“…Three studies using self-report measures have found that the combination of high NE/A and low PE/A is associated with: (1) depressive disorders, and changes over time in depression, and not anxiety, in inpatient youth (Joiner and Lonigan 2000); (2) 4th-through 11th-grade youth changes in depressive symptoms over 7 months (Lonigan et al 2003); and (3) 6th-to 10th-grade adolescents' increases in anhedonic symptoms of depression over a five-month period (Wetter and Hankin 2009). Another longitudinal study that assessed 3-year-old children's temperament with parent report and laboratory and observational measures of NE/A and PE/A found neither NE/A nor PE/A predicted depressive symptoms at age 7, yet the interaction of mother-reported NE/A with PE/A predicted depression at age 10, with high NE/A related to increases in depression for children who were low in PE/A (Dougherty et al 2010).…”

Models of social anxiety and depression in youth have been developed separately, and they contain similar etiological influences. Given the high comorbidity of social anxiety and depression, we examine whether the posited etiological constructs are a correlate of, or a risk factor for, social anxiety and/or depression at the symptom level and the diagnostic level. We find core risk factors of temperament, genetics, and parent psychopathology (i.e., depression and anxiety) are neither necessary nor sufficient for the development of social anxiety and/or depression. Instead, aspects of children's relationships with parents and/or peers either mediates (i.e., explains) or moderates (i.e., interacts with) these core risks being related to social anxiety and/or depression. We then examine various parent- and peer-related constructs contained in the separate models of social anxiety and depression (i.e., parent-child attachment, parenting, social skill deficits, peer acceptance and rejection, peer victimization, friendships, and loneliness). Throughout our review, we report evidence for a Cumulative Interpersonal Risk model that incorporates both core risk factors and specific interpersonal risk factors. Most studies fail to consider comorbidity, thus little is known about the specificity of these various constructs to depression and/or social anxiety. However, we identify shared, differential, and cumulative risks, correlates, consequences, and protective factors. We then put forth demonstrated pathways for the development of depression, social anxiety, and their comorbidity. Implications for understanding comorbidity are highlighted throughout, as are theoretical and research directions for developing and refining models of social anxiety, depression, and their comorbidity. Prevention and treatment implications are also noted.

“…As predicted, negative affectivity was highly correlated with both depression and anxiety and positive affectivity was negatively correlated with depression. Lonigan et al (2003) evaluated the stability of negative and positive affectivity and its relation to anxiety and depression. Consistent with the hypothesis, negative and positive affectivity were related to anxiety and depression; additionally, the results indicated the stability of positive and negative affectivity across time.…”

This exploratory study examines cognitive risk factors, anxiety sensitivity, and positive and negative affect, as related to the development of anxiety and depression. In a mailed survey, adolescents completed the Child Anxiety Sensitivity Index and the Positive and Negative Affectivity Scale. Previous research utilized the broad and unified variable of anxiety sensitivity as a predictor of anxiety. In this study, we separate and examine the four specific factors of anxiety sensitivity: mental incapacitation concerns, social concerns, disease concerns, and unsteady concerns, and relate it to specific anxiety disorders and depression. Results indicate good convergent validity and improved divergent validity when utilizing the four factors of anxiety sensitivity as compared to using it as one construct. Results also suggest: (1) OCD and GAD share numerous similarities and (2) the importance of the role of negative affectivity in anxiety and depression. Being aware of the components of anxiety sensitivity and how they relate to specific anxiety disorders can help a social worker when rendering a diagnosis.A review of the literature establishes that anxiety and depression are common in adolescents with a 12-month prevalence rate of 6.9% for anxiety and 1.7% for depression (Roberts et al. 2006). These disorders can develop during childhood or later in adolescence and can potentially create a significant burden for the

“…The tripartite model posits that high levels of negative affect (NA) are shared by anxiety and depression whereas low levels of positive affect (PA) are presumed to be unique to depression and physiological hyperarousal [PH] unique to anxiety. Evidence suggests that NA and PA represent temperamental factors that act as risk factors for anxiety and mood disorders whereas the temperamental status of PH is less clear [6,7].…”

Psychometric Properties of the Positive and Negative Affect Scale for Children (PANAS-C) in Children with Anxiety Disorders

This study investigated the psychometric properties of the Positive and Negative Affect Scale for Children (PANAS-C) (Laurent et al. Psychol Asses 1: 326-338, 1999) in a sample of 139 children (ages 7-14 years) diagnosed with a principal anxiety disorder. Results from this study provided support for the convergent validity of the PANAS-C with established measures of childhood anxiety and depression. As predicted, negative affect was significantly associated with measures of anxiety and depression whereas positive affect was associated with depression. However, weaknesses in discriminant validity were found, most notably with regard to social anxiety. Consistent with previous research, social anxiety was significantly associated with low levels of positive affect (PA). Furthermore, results from regression analyses indicated that PA made a significant unique contribution to the prediction of social anxiety as well as depression scores. Findings are discussed with regard to the usefulness of the PANAS-C to differentiate anxiety and depression in children with anxiety disorders.
