ABSTRACT Despite growing evidence that an elevated error-related negativity (ERN) is a risk marker for anxiety, it is unclear what psychological construct underlies this association. To address this gap, we devised a 9-item self-report scale for assessing error sensitivity (i.e. the fear of making mistakes) in children. The Child Error Sensitivity Index was administered to 97 children ages 5–7 years old and demonstrated good internal reliability and convergent validity. The Child Error Sensitivity Index related to the ERN, and the relationship between the ERN and child anxiety symptoms was mediated by scores on the Child Error Sensitivity Index.

了解 5 至 7 岁儿童焦虑与焦虑的神经标志物（与错误相关的消极性）之间的联系

摘要 尽管越来越多的证据表明，与错误相关的负性 (ERN) 升高是焦虑的风险标志，但尚不清楚这种关联背后的心理结构是什么。为了弥补这一差距，我们设计了一个包含 9 项的自我报告量表，用于评估儿童的错误敏感性（即对犯错的恐惧）。对 97 名 5-7 岁儿童进行了儿童错误敏感性指数，显示出良好的内部信度和收敛效度。儿童错误敏感性指数与 ERN 相关，ERN 与儿童焦虑症状之间的关系由儿童错误敏感性指数的分数介导。
