Although knowledge of the cognitive factors that place children at risk for worry has grown, little is known about these processes within African American youth. The present study investigated cognitive factors associated with worry in a sample of 47 African American children, ages 8 to 13. Participants completed self-report measures of worry, intolerance of uncertainty, positive and negative beliefs about worry, and negative problem orientation. Results supported the hypothesis that cognitive factors demonstrated significant positive associations with worry. Based on a model predicting worry from all cognitive factors, negative beliefs about worry emerged as the only individual predictor. This is the first study to examine cognitive factors associated with worry in an African American sample of children and provides initial support for the applicability of these cognitive factors in future examinations of worry within this population. Future research should continue to explore cognitive as well as other factors that predispose African America children to worry.

对非裔美国青年与担忧相关的认知特征的初步调查

尽管对使儿童面临担忧风险的认知因素的了解有所增加,但对非裔美国青年的这些过程知之甚少。本研究调查了 47 名 8 至 13 岁非裔美国儿童样本中与担忧相关的认知因素。参与者完成了担忧的自我报告测量、对不确定性的不容忍、对担忧的积极和消极信念以及消极的问题导向。结果支持了认知因素与担忧显着正相关的假设。基于从所有认知因素预测担忧的模型,关于担忧的负面信念成为唯一的个体预测因素。这是第一项在非裔美国儿童样本中检查与担忧相关的认知因素的研究,并为这些认知因素在未来对该人群的担忧检查中的适用性提供了初步支持。未来的研究应继续探索导致非裔美国儿童担心的认知因素和其他因素。
